Upcoming Classes
“I thought you’d like to know I whipped up a bowl of mayonnaise yesterday, added a bunch of herby goodness, and with leftover cooked salmon: the most delicious sandwiches in the world!” — S. Hill Long
Strong Food: Fun, Simple, Veggie-centric Dishes for the Whole Family (SOLD OUT)
Saturday, April 13 11:00 am – 1:30pm
Strong food is a term my husband and I came up with to describe the vegetable-heavy dishes we relish and sometimes need to convince our six-year-old to eat. Children and grown-ups alike are sometimes hesitant about vegetables so in this class we’ll focus on creative, simple ways to prepare dishes that incorporate or highlight our local array of produce.
Private Class for Athletes: Delicious, Nutrient Dense Dishes and Meal Planning Tips
Cost: $85
Date in early May TBA
NOTE: I am currently working with four CSA farms, writing weekly recipes packets for their share members. I am also teaching private classes and working with businesses and public agencies within their Wellness Initiatives which is why I have fewer public classes posted. There will be more classes again in the fall and do get in touch if you would like to schedule a private class or consultation.
Have a group of friends or family with whom you’d like to take a private class? Have so much produce in your garden or CSA box that you need help using it all? Get in touch and we’ll schedule something.
Private Classes
I also teach private classes, either in your home or mine. If you have a group of friends/family/colleagues who would like to do a class together (with a special menu or one of my choosing) we can schedule something to fit your needs.
Consultations
Need help stocking your pantry/kitchen? I can come to your home and help you get set up and systematize your restocking, list-making, and sourcing/shopping.
Need a gift for someone?
Please contact me for a gift certificate for any class or consultation or purchase a standardized one for $75 here.
