GUYS! Everyone! I am so excited to officially invite you to my very first Zoom cooking class. The class will be this Sunday, May 22 from 4-5:30pm ET at a cost of $40 per household. Cooks of all skill level are welcome. Here is our menu…
Jalisco Express
Tangy Roasted Salmon and/or Tofu
Spring Caprese
Citrus Farro Salad with Toasted Walnuts and Olives
Citrus Olive Oil Cake
Our menu will celebrate the official transition into spring. To me, that transition happens once temperatures remain above 60 degrees and real spring produce shows up at the farmers markets, not when the calendar tells us its spring in March. We are just getting there here in the North East.
All dishes (even our cocktail!) include bright, verdant flavors – think lots of citrus, green vegetables and fresh herbs. We’ll start with a Jalisco Express – a tequila cocktail that’s the tiniest bit spicy from the addition of a jalapeno, and fresh from cucumber and basil. It’s just as yummy made virgin with soda water for those who don’t want to imbibe. We’ll make Tangy Glazed Salmon (and/or tofu) with orange, Dijon mustard and honey and discuss the many directions you can take it by switching up your glaze ingredients. To serve alongside of that, we’ll prepare my Spring Caprese, a mix of perfectly blanched spring vegetables layered with top-quality mozzarella, basil and mint; and a flavorful farro salad tossed with lemon-shallot vinaigrette, crunchy toasted walnuts and salty olives. And don’t forget about dessert! We’ll whip up a very forgiving citrus olive oil cake that gets better as it sits. You will be enjoying the fruits of our labor for days to come.
Cook along with me and enjoy the meal with family or friends or pack it up and enjoy it for lunch throughout the week. Register for the class here and I will invoice you via Venmo or Quickbooks. Once paid, I will approve your registration and send you more information about the class including a grocery list, our recipes and answers to what I anticipate to be common questions.
This is something I have wanted to do *forever* and hope I will see you there. Thank you so much for your support!
