Cookery Workshop: Sorbets, Ice-creams and Other Cool Desserts

July 14, 2010 - 4:30-7:30 PM

$65/ person

 

No need to heat up the kitchen to make dreamy refreshing desserts (which of course, we have to eat afterwards!).

 

In this workshop, we'll make one ice-cream, one sorbet, a fruit mousse, and a coulis.

 

We'll learn when and why to poach fruit, and we'll make a couple of layered desserts like a fool, a parfait or a jubilee or a layered ice-cream cake.

 

We'll discuss classic and not so classic combinations and additional presentation ideas.

 

Recipes and degustation included.

 

 

 

If you are interested in one of our workshops but can’t make it, contact us, anyway. If we have enough interest, we’ll repeat the workshop on an alternative day - or we can arrange a private lesson!

Growing & Cooking with Herbs

In mid-summer, many herbs reach a peak of lushness and flavor. Come and learn about the lore and cultivation of reliable favorite herbs - as well as more unusual ones. This is the prefect time to harvest many herbs to dry, to make herbal vinegars, unusual ice-teas, etc … We will show you how. Also learn how to incorporate herbs in your everyday cooking and in simple yet sophisticated special dinner dishes! We will demonstrate the making of several dishes featuring herbs (appetizer, main, side, dessert) and give you recipes to replicate at home – but only after you’ve had a chance to sample everything we made.
