During the harvest season, there’s a rich variety of foods available. As usual, our cooking class will focus on what vegetables and fruits are currently available at the farmers’ markets. This time, freshly roasted peppers, tomatoes, corn, squashes, and more will come together for a beautiful “Three Sisters Pozole,” complete with a variety of toppings including a very special cabbage combo. Special seasonal fruity desserts round out the meal. If there’s time, we will also make a lovely, simple “Ratatouille.”
Everything will be gluten-free, soy-free, and sugar-free.
One dish will be prepared with nuts, all with a little dairy, but the recipes can easily be made at home without dairy or nuts for an allergen free vegetarian feast. Please join us for a lively class!
Bring a pen and notepad!
