Looking to support local farmers and fishermen as you cook up something special for your sweetheart or loved ones this Valentine’s Day? Then do not miss Mainetarian Cooking for Your Sweethearts, a one-night cooking class offered through Central Lincoln County Adult Education on Thursday, Feb. 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the FARMS Community Kitchen (above Rising Tide) in Damariscotta.

Come learn how to prepare unique, healthful dishes from the bounty of Maine’s farms and fisheries, including “Heart Beet Soup” and “Root Lovin’ Muffins.” Instructor Lisa Packard, farm educator at the Morris Farm, will also recommend local wines to accompany your Valentine’s meal. All ingredients will be provided. Packard, the mother or two hungry teenagers, fed her family entirely from food grown and produced in Maine for one year, and shared their experience at the Common Ground Fair. The course fee is $44 and includes all food costs.
