Due to popular demand, I’ve decided to add a second class for October!
Welcome back to my studio kitchen for our first cooking class of the Fall Harvest series, to take place on Thursday, October 30th! With the changing of seasons we are reminded of the warm and comforting “hygge” that a delicious meal with friends can provide; that can even make the coming cold a little bit easier to accept!
This class will celebrate root vegetables and fall squashes and my own concord grape juice, flanked with the sugar pumpkin in both our first and last course. I am a big fan of pumpkin:) Some of the root vegetables that will be featured, including carrots, fingerling potatoes, parsnip, rutabaga, kale, garlic and onions are still tucked away in my garden as the days shorten and the temperatures drop, as this is the still the best place for them to live until we are ready to enjoy them. While the class will officially start at 6:00, you are welcome to meet me in the garden from 5:30-6:00 to participate in the harvesting of our dinner vegetables.
Our evening will begin with a warm pumpkin soup with an Eastern flair, and then on to one of my favourite salads that utilize the underrated kale in it’s raw glory. For our main we will enjoy an excellent flank steak, nestled in with a beautiful blended rutabaga and other root veggie favourites along with a unique vegetable that is found in many gardens in Northern Ontario, the Jerusalem artichoke, or sunchoke! And finally, we will settle in to a delicious pumpkin gingerbread cheesecake roll, a perfect way to celebrate the sugar pumpkin in this season.

-
