There are a few spots left in this class, if anyone is interested in joining the fun.
I’ve been inspired to create a Winter Citrus Cooking Class for you, using ripe citrus from the orchard. Citrus is bright and refreshing to look at, in dishes especially this time of year, as well as adding valuable acidity, brightness, and flavor in recipes.
The menu I created has a delicious Mexican theme. The soup by Alice Waters has a homemade salsa as a garnish. The salad recipe was inspired by a fabulous salad I had at the restaurant, Marsala’s, last fall in San Miguel de Allende (Marsala Bolaño was on Top Chef Mexico and the chef behind Marsala’s). The dressing comes from the renown Rancho La Puerta hotel and spa, outside of Tecate. Finely ground polenta is one of the ingredients in the dessert cake.

This cooking class is “hands on,” followed by a sit down luncheon, à table, enjoying the recipes we have made together. A minimum of 6 guests is necessary for the cooking class to be held.
A portion of your class fee will be donated to Alice Waters’ Edible Schoolyard Project. The Edible Schoolyard Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the transformation of public education by using organic school gardens, kitchens, and cafeterias to teach both academic subjects and the values of nourishment, stewardship, and community.
Edible education provides hands-on experiences that connect students to food, nature, and each other; and it systematically addresses the crises of climate change, public health, and social inequality. At its heart is a dynamic and joyful learning experience for every child.
