Un Dimanche A La Campagne - April 2011 Sunday April 3, 3:30 to 7:30 PM . $75/ person
The cooking class series “Un Dimanche A La Campagne” or “Sunday in the Country” teaches students simple ways to create flavorful and healthy meals from local seasonal ingredients, using fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs and meat/poultry sourced from small local farms.
We discuss the art of building a menu throughout the season. We thoroughly go through timing of preparation & cooking with emphasis on all that can be made ahead to minimize actual time in the kitchen during your party. We’ll also discuss variations so you can customize the dishes. The limited-size classes are lively with lots of practical tips, tangents into gardening, food history, vegetable storage, dish variations etc.
In April, we’ll learn to cook rabbit, a delicious healthy white meat that’s increasingly easier to find. We’ll also make a fresh farm cheese from scratch and turn it into a simple but very tasty dip with handmade crackers. We’ll have fun with salad dressings (yes that’s possible) and lastly will make a intensely flavored flourless chocolate cake for chocolate lovers.
