About the Kitchen Fundamentals Series
The Kitchen Fundamentals series teaches essential skills for cooking whole foods with a focus on locally-produced and economical ingredients. If you’re new to cooking or are looking to increase your knowledge and confidence, then this is the series for you! The 4-part series is made of stand-alone classes, however, when bought as a package there is a discount of $5 per class.
The full series of classes includes:
Sept 23: Kitchen Fundamentals: Skills for Healthy Home Cooking
Sept 30: Kitchen Fundamentals: Cooking Whole Grains, Beans and Legumes
Oct 7: Kitchen Fundamentals: Vegetables Every day!
Oct 28: Kitchen Fundamentals: Cooking Meat, Chicken and Fish
Properly cooked, vegetables can be intensely flavorful while delivering a rainbow of nutrition. In this class you will learn to unlock the flavors and nutrients of roots, shoots, tubers and flowers using seasonal and locally grown produce from the SFC Farmers’ Market and some tried and true cooking techniques that will make your veggies the stars of your plate. Join us to learn about the essential utensils, pots & pans for vegetable cookery and how to choose, handle and store fresh vegetables. We’ll also go over three basic cooking methods: sauté, steam, and roast.
Sections of this class will be active, so please dress appropriately for the kitchen (closed-toe shoes, comfortable clothes, hair tie for long hair). We will sample what we cook, but it will not be a complete meal.
