SUMMARY:Homemade Pasta Workshop with Sylvia Becker
DESCRIPTION:Semolina pasta is a staple of Southern Italian Cuisine\, it is made from durum wheat (a hard\, high gluten wheat) and milled several times into a lovely amber flour. Due to the sturdiness of this dough it is perfect for creating shaped pastas that are ideal for drying for long term use. In this hands-on workshop we will be making a semolina dough from scratch and then forming 3 different shapes of pastas – Cavetelli (using thumb or knife); Orecchiette (using thumb or knife) \nMalloreddus (using gnocchi board\, fork or cheese grater). Each student will make and form their own pile of pasta to take home. Chef Sylvia will then cook up some Cavetelli and pair it with a locally sourced squash sauce with crispy breadcrumbs and herbs for a yummy lunch which we will share. \nCavetelli is a hearty pasta and translated from Italian means “Little Hollows”. They are excellent for soaking up sauce and have a fantastic bite. Join us for this mini trip to Italy as we explore this wonderful pasta tradition! \nThis hands-on workshop is limited to ten people and includes lunch. \n \nNOTE: This cooking class will take place inside our kitchen and is limited to just ten people.

SUMMARY:Winter Comfort Food - Chicken with Miriam Rubin
DESCRIPTION:We love chicken for its versatility and comforting flavor\, and for the simplicity in its preparation for delicious results. It was no surprise that chicken was a top-ten contender in a year-end round-up of the New York Time’s favorite recipes. In this demonstration class Miriam Rubin will make three cold-weather comfort food classics\, all featuring chicken. \nChicken Pot Pie is a favorite and Miriam will show how to make lovely individual biscuit-topped ones. She’ll also demonstrate the quickest and most flavorful Lemon-Garlic Roast Chicken. The secret is butterflying or spatchcocking (a technique she will show). This helps the bird to cook quicker and roast more evenly. \nFinally\, we’ll explore homemade chicken bone broth and show you why having this essential “liquid gold” in your freezer is essential for any good cook. Store-bought chicken broth is not just a waste of money\, it’s very pale substitute for the real thing. Using this homemade broth\, Miriam will demo a quick\, easy and oh-so satisfying vegetable soup. \nMenu to include:\n• Lemon-Garlic Roast Chicken \n• Chicken Pot Pie \n• Chicken Broth Vegetable Soup \nThis Demonstration class is limited to ten people and includes lunch. \nNOTE: ALL participants must be vaccinated for Covid 19 in order to attend this class.
