What You Will Learn

Join us for a fun, delicious, and fully participatory wild food cooking class with entertaining & popular mycochef, Chad Hyatt, author of the Mushroom Hunter’s Kitchen.

Under Chef Chad’s guiding hand, we will work our way through 5 or 6 dishes, focused on seasonal summer ingredients. We will put together a complete meal together, from appetizer through dessert. The class will culminate in a shared dinner.  

We will provide all the ingredients, knives, and stoves that you need. But if you have a knife you like to use, you're welcome to bring it! Otherwise, just bring you a tupperware for leftovers (if we have any!) and come hungry!

Both an expert forager and classically trained chef, he has cooked in a variety of restaurants and private clubs around the San Francisco Bay area, where he can often be found putting on wild mushroom-themed dinners and teaching mushroom-related classes.

Chad's cooking career began after leaving an engineering career for culinary school. He has cooked in a wide range of kitchens, from Michelin-starred fine dining to opening a BBQ restaurant, and from country club to gastropub. He is passionate about approachable comfort food, based on local, seasonal ingredients, and, of course, wild mushrooms. He has been working as an independent freelance chef since the middle of 2018, with a focus on special events.
