After a long hiatus from cooking classes to allow for a busy wedding season, I want to welcome you back to my studio kitchen for our first cooking class of the Fall Harvest series, to take place on Thursday, October 15th!
With the changing 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! With this in mind, this class will celebrate root vegetables, fall greens and my own concord grape juice. Some of the root vegetables that will be featured include rainbow coloured carrots, new potatoes, parsnips, rutabaga, kale, Swiss Chard and onions all 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 comforting soup with fresh-made sourdough bread and then on to one of my favourite salads that utilize the underrated kale in all of its raw glory. For our main event we will enjoy a savoury stuffed pork tenderloin with our tree apples and fresh sage nestled in with a beautiful blended rutabaga and roasted rainbow coloured carrots. And finally, we will settle in to a unique and delightful cake made of parsnips, something I’ve been excited to serve for some time now!
Menu:
- Concord grape spritzer
- Fresh made sourdough bread; whipped rosemary butter
