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.

After a stint at the Université of Aix en Provence\, he moved to Paris to continue his liberal arts studies at La Sorbonne. During that time\, Bizalion interned at Le Matin to eventually become the New. York correspondent of the daily newspaper from 1984 to 1988. \nA keen Interest in fashion led him to work at GQ\, the New York Times Magazine\, The Washington Post Magazine and as a stylist\, producer and fashion director for labels such as Armani\, Valentino and Nautica\, influencing style and images though advertising\, fashion shows and design. \nWhile immersed in the glamour of fashion he never lost his childhood interest in food\, small scale farming and the outdoors. An inescapable urge to leave the city prompted him and his wife Helen to open a café and small specialty food store in Great Barrington with an emphasis on French charcuterie and cheese\, a light menu of salads and sandwiches and carefully sourced artisanal olive oils from Mediterranean bordering regions. Jean-François’ roots led him to develop an international olive oil trading post centered in Great Barrington. Eighteen years later\, Bizalion’s olive oils can be found in kitchens in Vancouver\, LA\, Dallas\, Miami\, Boston and\, luckily for us\, in the Berkshires and Hudson Valley. \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR COVID19 PROTOCOLS:\nThis will be a live\, in-person class limited to ten attendees.

SUMMARY:Book Talk/Demo: Peter Hoffman's 'What’s Good?: A Memoir in 14 Ingredients'
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our kitchen as we celebrate a new book by Chef Peter Hoffman. \nNote: Ticket includes a signed copy of “What’s Good.”\nPeter Hoffman\, a pioneer of farm-to-table cooking in New York\, blends memoir with an insightful exploration of ingredients he uses—along with a handful of must-have recipes—in his highly anticipated first book\, “What’s Good?: A Memoir in Fourteen Ingredients.” Hoffman\, founder of iconic restaurants Savoy and Back Forty\, unpacks his journey from line cook to chef/owner during the New York food scene’s fundamental shift away from French dominance to a more global and farm-to-table approach. Hoffman tells this story though a series of charming tales of a life in kitchens—detailing everything from how his commitment to using whole animals in the restaurant led to him putting a spirit-killing burger on the menu\, to the importance of his relationship with his refrigerator repairman. \nMixed in with Hoffman’s personal stories are deeply curious explorations into the cultural\, historical\, and botanical backstories of the foods we eat (e.g.\, butter\, leeks and potatoes\, maple syrup\, garlic\, kale and radicchio\, among others). Following the order of the seasons\, Hoffman dives deeply into the natural world explaining why\, for example\, peppers are the greatest example of biodemocracy (abundant and adaptable to different climates) or why Canestrinos are the very best cooking tomato. Hoffman meets with farmers and greenmarket vendors and unpacks what we eat\, why we eat it\, and how to make it delicious. \nHighlight recipes in this book include:\n• Pork Shoulder with Pimenton Rub \n• Rabe with Garlic\, Chiles\, and Parmesan \n• Shrimp Oil Vinaigrette \n• Romesco Sauce \n• The Red and Black cocktail \n• Susan’s Peach-Raspberry Pie \nThis special event is limited to 24 people. Wine will be served. \nNOTE: All participants must be vaccinated for Covid 19 in order to attend this live\, in-person event. \nPlease read our Covid 19 protocols below before purchasing your ticket. \n  \nORDER A TICKET BY CLICKING HERE\n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nChef Peter Hoffman is the curious cook’s cook. As the former chef/owner of Savoy and Back Forty restaurants\, he trailblazed farm-to-table cooking in NYC. His opinion pieces have been published in the New York Times\, Edible Manhattan\, and Food & Wine. Hoffman served on the boards of the Greenmarket and Chefs Collaborative and is a Slow Food NYC Snailblazer award recipient. On most market days he can be found on his bicycle\, foraging Union Square Greenmarket for the best in seasonal ingredients and partaking in its “village green” community life. \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR COVID19 PROTOCOLS:\nThis will be a live\, in-person event limited to twenty-four attendees.

When her website began to grow in popularity\, readers began asking how to make the bread they’d heard so much about. Alexandra’s mother acquiesced\, and the recipe got shared\, and has since inspired many who had deemed bread-baking an impossibility to give it a try\, and their results have exceeded expectations. It all led to Ali’s cookbook\, “Bread Toast Crumb\,” praised by the world’s top-selling baking-book authors including Dorie Greenspan and David Lebovitz. \n\nCLICK HERE TO ORDER A TICKET NOW\n\nIMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR COVID19 PROTOCOLS:\nThis will be a live\, in-person class limited to ten attendees.

SUMMARY:Small-Batch Pickle Fest With Miriam Rubin
DESCRIPTION:Join Pickle Maven\, food writer\, and cookbook author Miriam Rubin in our Small-Batch Pickle Fest. We’ll be making Miriam’s family recipe: Grandma Rubin’s Kosher Dills\, and each participant will take home a jar of pickles they packed themselves. These yummy pickles do not require processing or vats of hot water\, nor do they take tons of time to make. \nIn addition to the classic Kosher dill\, we’ll delve into quick pickles – call them quickles — which add sparkle to so many summer dishes. Here’s what’s planned: Easy Preserved Lemons\, Super-Fast Lime-Pickled Red Onions\, and Zesty Pickled Radishes and Chiles. These flavor-packed elements are simple to prepare and can take a standard salad\, sandwich\, grain bowl or taco from pretty good to truly great. Miriam will demonstrate these “Quickles” and we’ll have a tasting so we can talk about the many dishes that can benefit from the enhanced flavor and presentation with these yummy and beautiful quick pickles. Our Pickle-Fest with Miriam is for novices or the experienced pickler. \nLearn to make:\n· Kosher Dills \n· Preserved Lemons \n· Lime-Quick Pickled Red Onions \n· Quick Pickled Radishes and Chiles \nNOTE: ALL participants must be vaccinated for Covid 19 in order to attend this class.
