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 recent cookbook\, “Bread Toast Crumb\,” praised by the world’s top-selling baking-book authors including Dorie Greenspan and David Lebovitz. Ali is also a columnist for Food52.com. \nCancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets.

SUMMARY:Provençal Summer Menu with Alexandra Stafford
DESCRIPTION:Quench your summer travel thirst with this Provençal feast. We’ll begin class preparing dessert: a stone fruit galette made with a flaky tart dough and frangipane (a creamy almond paste)\, both of which are made in the food processor and come together in minutes. \nAs this rustic galette bakes\, we’ll poach salmon in preparation for a niçoise salad with haricot vert\, fingerling potatoes\, sweet cherry tomatoes\, and farm greens. \nThen we’ll caramelize onions for the pissaladière\, which we’ll bake smeared with a paste of minced anchovies and capers. As we work\, we’ll nourish ourselves with tapenade spread across homemade peasant bread. Spread out a picnic blanket\, break out the rosé—Provence has never felt closer to home. \nLimited to 12 people. \n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite
