Spring Cooking Class with Paige Dunlap
Hello Everyone,
The summer garden is in full swing now and about to produce like crazy. We planted Chinese long bean and basil seeds at the kid’s cooking class and they were up in three days. I hope you can join me for some cooking classes that are coming up in May 19th, June 9th and June 16th(for kiddos!) to enjoy some of the fresh bounty that Mother Nature graciously offers. Green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, and basil are all growing vigorously and of course we’ll take the Indian approach and spice it up. I will teach you how to make ghee as always and I’m exploring some new spice blends that we could make together. I’ve been reading cookbooks; getting very inspired to go into new territory. Below are the details for upcoming classes. The first one features garden green beans…powerhouses of nutrition and so abundantly productive. They produce fast and furious though so you need some creative ways to deal with the yield. On June 9th , I will teach you how to make mango chutney and we will enjoy it with an incredible array of all the flavors and the 6 tastes. Both classes are medium in the heat range. See you soon in the kitchen and the garden. Let’s go deeper into our connection to the earth through food as we cultivate the art of the great home cook.

Cooking class for kiddos!
Saturday June 16th from 2 to 5pm
We will pick green beans out of the garden…probably the Chinese yard long beans. The kids will get to clean and chop the beans and then we can prepare the Bhaji together. I will have the dal and chutney made in advance and the kids can help with mango and raita. For the raita, they will get to pick cucumbers also. Age limit 6 and up. Moms can stay or drop the kids off.
