Instructor Bio
Aunt Bee’s Kitchen is now an approved Class A Cottage Food Operation in Shasta County. Current product is Fiesta Corn, a spicy mix of dehydrated corn, onions, red and green bell peppers, chili powder, and other spices. Fiesta Corn can be eaten out of hand, rehydrated as a tasty side dish, or ground to enliven your favorite cornbread recipe. Under development are dehydrated meals for your next backpacking adventure, long haul road trip, or the Zombie Apocalypse. Look for the Aunt Bee’s Kitchen booth at the Saturday Redding Farmer’s Market this Fall.
Benita Moore, owner/instructor of Aunt Bee’s Kitchen, grew up on a farm in the San Joaquin Valley preserving food from the garden and orchard with her mother and grandmother. She has a Food Service Technology certificate from Shasta College, was a Chef’s Apprentice at the Redding Red Lion Inn, and a Certified Cook with the American Culinary Federation. Benita most recently trained with the UCCE Master Food Preservers in food safety and current home food preservation methods. Her mission is to teach people how to preserve delicious, nutritious, and safe food, as well as to support the local farming community.
Benita is a trained Preserved Foods Judge for California County Fairs. Call or send email for more information on availability. References provided.
