Taught by Susan Belsinger

This cooking class will feature some discussion and demo as well as lots of hands-on food prep using springtime bounty to create delectable recipes. We will prepare some of Susan’s favorite recipes from her new book The Perfect Bite using seasonal vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers.

Springtime offerings are fresh and exciting after heavy winter fare; we will be using new baby greens and herbs to make a sauce verte to serve with spring radishes and fennel while sipping on a seasonal spritzer; we will make homemade herb noodles, from scratch, served with fresh asparagus and mushrooms; use fresh arugula, spinach and foraged greens as a base for a spring salad with beets and feta; and last though not least, we’ll make a strawberry rhubarb compote and vanilla whipped cream to garnish lemon balm scones.

Susan is a “flavor junkie” and she will share her thoughts about how to achieve maximum flavor and how smell and taste work together. We will taste simple ingredients to experience sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami and pungent. 

Bring an apron, kitchen knives (chef and paring), a wooden cutting board if you prefer one, and a to-go mug or drinking jar.
