Culinary Communion: Individual Hands-On Classes

	I made the pork menu for my kids yesterday. Normally, they complain about everything I put in front of them. But last night, my oldest got up from the table and said, "That was a really fun, different, interesting and good meal!" It was worth a thousand dollars of cooking classes to get that one response.

The Following Classes Are Currently Available (listed in chronological order):

Menu Development Seminar Now Registering!		For the experienced home cook who would like to learn how to create multi-course menus from scratch. This seminar-style class will explore how to create a balanced menu, incorporating a variety of elements in each course. For example, when one must consider the balance of starch, protein, vegetable, and other "types" of courses (expanding on the basic concepts of appetizers, fish course, salad, dessert, etc); the balance of textures (soft/crunchy, crispy/creamy, etc.); the balance of flavors (tangy/spicy/sweet/rich, etc.); and many other factors! Students will conceive of ideas and discuss them in a roundtable format with the instructor and one another. By the end of class each student will have designed his or her own menu and presented it to the class. We will brainstorm, sketch pictures of presentations, and draw on a wide variety of cookbooks as resources. Good resources to have read before class (although not required) include Grey Kunz' The Elements of Taste and Culinary Artistry by Dornenburg and Page (both books can be purchased from Amazon through CC here). This class is designed to go hand-in-hand with our Dish Development course, offered May 3.

The 250-Mile Diet: Late Spring Vegetarian Now Registering!		Finally, the dilemma of how far our food travels to our tables is becoming a widely-known issue. More and more people are realizing that much of our food is shipped thousands of miles to us. This has an enormous effect upon everything from local economies to family farms to the flavor and nutritional value of the food itself. Books like Plenty and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle are bringing this issue even closer to our consciousness. But the general idea of eating locally and the actual practice of how to put together a completely locally-grown meal can be pretty far apart. In an effort to encourage eating locally, we want to help you get creative with local foods. The 250-Mile Diet classes will utilize only foods grown within 250 miles, with the singular exception of salt (until we find a local producer!). In June we're moving toward summer and the availability of produce is beginning to open up.
