Workshop: Cooking from Garden Abundance

August 27, 2015 @ 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

August is the most wonderful month for cooking from the garden.  We are presented with a smorgasbord of ingredients to choose from, offering us every imaginable flavor, texture, and color combination.  We can walk out to the garden and find ingredients for meals from every cuisine in the world.  This class will focus on using a wide variety of just-harvested vegetables and fruits.  We’ll cook up a storm and then sit down to enjoy a relaxed meal together, enjoying all of our creations.  Bring leftover containers!

 Learn techniques and fundamentals hands on while Alice introduces you to the experience of cooking with all of your senses.  We’ll take the time to really look at the foods as they are prepared; notice how the aroma changes as they are cooked; tune in to the change in the sounds as the ingredients transform, and taste as the dish progresses.  Learn about deep flavors and surface flavors and about layering flavor into a dish.  Appreciate the alchemy as separate ingredients marry & meld to create something altogether different.  Most of all, we’ll have fun!
