Learn to make, taste and take home Norwegian lefse - a delicious potato flatbread!
Lefse is a staple food in Norway that evolved from a hard-tack cracker into a soft, tortilla-like flatbread with the introduction of potatoes to the country. In the U.S. lefse is often a holiday treat but can be a part of everyday life due to its simplicity and versatility. Participants do not need any prior culinary experience and will learn how to make lefse from beginning to end, sample freshly made lefse and take a small portion home.
*This is a beginner-level class, appropriate for those interested in culinary arts ages 12+ (with a registered adult guardian for those under 16). Participants should bring an apron and/or clothing that can get full of flour. If you have any lefse cooking supplies, you are encouraged to bring them.
About the Instructor: Jess Edberg wears many hats and enjoys sharing her knowledge with others. Her day job is as the executive director of the Dorothy Molter Museum and she hosts the local History Happy Hour (ask her about it!) but she is also a sometimes adjunct natural resources instructor at MN North Community College-Vermilion campus, and a volunteer member of the Wolf Care Team at the International Wolf Center. However, most of her free time is spent with her spouse and two dogs exploring the Northwoods or playing on the Ely women's hockey team.
