classes

Host a private cooking class with Janelle; Seattle-based Talk of Tomatoes blogger/chef and urban farmer offers cooking classes at your home OR on her [urban, 'under construction'] farm.

Her blog has been featured by Saveur, Food & Wine, Hallmark magazine, Delish.com, Foodbuzz, Foodista, Foodwhirl and more. Graduate of Seattle Art Institute’s culinary program and instructor at the Blue Ribbon Cooking School, Janelle loves all things food, farm and frolics (and is admittedly obsessed with JARS). She recently returned from living for a year in Italy where she learned a thing or two about ‘tiramisu and ragu‘.

CLASSES available Dec 2011/Jan 2012:

Tutto Italiano (class 1) Everything Italian: after a year abroad I have many favorite Italian recipes – class includes making pasta/ravioli, sauces, arugula salad, bruschetta platter, tiramisu and vin santo/chianti tasting. (lunch included)

Tutto Italiano (class 2) More Italian food: learn methods for risotto, polenta (and a family favorite baked dish), eggplant ragu, classic soups, salads and more! Mozzarella/Montepulciano tasting. (lunch included)

New Year Resolutions Content to be determined by class participants in advance. What are your food resolutions and how can I help?

Seasonal Bounty: this class has everything to do with focusing on—and mastering—seasonal foods. Whatever is piled high at nearby farmer’s markets will be highlighted in this class. Includes basic knowledge of ingredient benefits, history, preserving (dry/freeze/can), spice pairings and flavor profiles. Each class will include focus on 2-4 foods; January examples include garlic, cauliflower, kale, sweet potatoes, cabbage, leeks and squash(es).
