UPCOMING COOKING CLASSES

July 15: Pan Sauces A great pan sauce, made using the crunchy, flavor-packed bits left over from a good sear, can change a dish from regular to rave. Each dish you make in this class will be restaurant-quality, and each will be accompanied by a rich, smooth pan sauce. Your menu includes: Chicken Piccata; Sautéed Chicken with Wild Mushroom Sauce; Flank Steak au Poivre; Sautéed Flank Steak with Red Wine Sauce; Striped Bass with Tomatoes, Capers, and Garlic; and Spice-Rubbed Salmon with Preserved Lemon and Olives. August 12 and 19: Grilling Meats and Produce From the Claremont Straw Bale Garden Harvest Grilling is one of the best ways to cook food simply while obtaining a maximum amount of flavor. You can grill on the stovetop, in your backyard, or over charcoal or gas. In this class, you will learn how to modify your grilling technique, depending on the medium used. You will also discuss how dry rubs and sauces are used on the grill, then put those lessons to use as you make: Bruschetta; T-Bone Steaks; Shrimp Skewers; Chicken Sate; Grilled Portobello Mushrooms; Grilled Assorted Vegetables from the Claremont Straw Bale Garden. September 16: Knife Skills Knowing how to use knives skillfully is the foundation of all cooking, and it doesn’t have to be scary or frustrating. Many home and even professional cooks don’t always wield a knife correctly, which increases food preparation time and makes the process harder and less safe than it should be. In this indispensable class, you will learn how to slice, dice, and chop in the safest and most efficient manner, as you prepare a menu of small plate tapas — both savory and sweet. September 23: Italian Techniques — Risotto and Pasta Workshop Learn the techniques and tips for preparing these two Italian kitchen staples. October 14: Pizza and Wine Bar Join us for this pizza party ... and for your next pizza party at home, you’ll have the ingredients for success. You will learn, step by step,

Don’t forget dessert! Indulge in a Nutella and Banana Pie. You will enjoy your pies with red and white Italian wines.
