Cooking Class - Celebrate Spring

Don't Miss This Cooking Class With Lisa Valantine

Poached Salmon
Celebrate Spring
 Saturday April 21st from 9 - noon

In this class we will focus on the flavor of spring - creating a menu from the finest and freshest organic produce from local farmer's market.  If you have ever wondered what to do with vegetables once you get them home - this class is for you.  We will discuss what to do with farmer's market produce and how to enhance the subtle delicate flavor of each vegetable using simple preparations of fresh herbs, olive oil and cultured butter and cream.    We will discuss how easy it is to prepare homemade mayonnaise in the traditional French method as well as how to make creme fraiche.  Vegetables will never taste quite the same once you have learned these wonderful techniques.  We will also learn how to eliminate the fishy flavor from salmon using fresh herbs and lemon.  Finally we will finish a memorable meal with the most velvety luscious chocolate mousse imaginable.
