In
these classes we examine
foods that
define cultures.
We know it sounds like total "food geek stuff"
but we think you will be as excited as we are!
Many of the dishes may
sound old fashioned
(they are) or simple
(some are) but these are the
powerful building blocks of our culinary history.
Some will be very familiar and some may
be foods you never thought you could recreate.
Each
is
offered
as
a
stand
alone
class
or
workshop.
Most
are
presented
once
or
twice
during
the
year.
Please come join us in this great adventure,
Heritage Recipe Cookery! |
