ITALIAN ANTIPASTI
 

Italian antipasti are a variety of starter dishes that are served as nibbles before the meal begins, generally while our first course - pasta or rice - is simmering on the stove. Antipasti can be offered in small individual portions or family style, and more often than not they are served at room temperature, which makes entertaining guests much easier as everything can be prepared ahead of time.

Our class includes a few starters from the Jewish Italian tradition, stemming from all around the Peninsula: from the South we have orange and olive salad and caponata; from Rome and Central Italy we have ossi, fried escarole and pumpkin spread, from the North we have bagna cauda and tuna pate.

Shabbat Dinner Class
 

Shabbat is arguably the most important of Jewish celebrations, a weekly occasion to give thanks to God for the creation, as prescribed by the fourth commandment, and to spend time with family and friends. On Shabbat we recite a blessing called Kiddush, during which we bless a glass of wine and two loaves of a special bread called challah, which we will prepare together. Wine is the symbol of joy, while the challah references the double portion of manna that the Lord gave the Jews in the desert.


Shabbat is specifically a day of rest: all work must be suspended, including cooking, so everything we eat on this day is prepared ahead and only gently reheated as needed.

In our class we will cook a few traditional Roman Shabbat dishes: stracotto (long-cooked beef stew with tomato sauce) and meatballs with celery and carrots for mains, two sides (a vegetarian one, spinach, and a starchy one, couscous), and a sweet, gluten-free treat to end the meal, almond cookies.

SOURDOUGH 101
 

Gather 'round as we knead, stretch, fold and proof our way to beautiful, naturally leavened loaves. You'll come into class and shape two loaves of bread using dough our chef has prepared; one boule and one pan loaf. Once nestled in proofing baskets and loaf pans to rise, we will gather to learn about the science of wild yeast, gluten and explore the rainbow of flavors and textures of different varieties of heirloom grains (milled in Pasadena at Grist & Toll))! You'll taste Spelt, Rye, Hard Reds and Whites and Sonora wheats before choosing your favorites to make your own bread dough.

Following a quick break, you'll feed a sourdough starter and prepare a levain, then mix the dough you'll take home to bake your own loaves after class. Once the loaves you shaped are fully proofed, we'll learn to expertly slash and bake them and, while they're busy baking away in the ovens, we will make a batch of jam and churn some butter with the loveliest cream from our friends at Straus.

Please bring one large bowl to class, a jar for your starter and a large paper bag to carry your loaves home with! Stone-milled flours from Grist & Toll are available for purchase in our storefront for all your bread-making dreams.

LEARN THE SCIENCE BEHIND:
Wild yeast
Fermentation
Hydration and Extraction
Milling and history of wheat cultivation
 
MAKE:
Sourdough Starter
Dough for Two Loaves of Bread
 
BAKE OFF:
1 Boule
1 Pan Loaf

GOURMANDISE SPEAKERS SERIES: An Evening with Get Hooked Seafood
 

Join us as we welcome Kim Selkoe and Victoria Voss, the bad-ass women who run Get Hooked Seafood, a CSA for locally sourced fish out of Santa Barbara. The evening will begin with an in-depth conversation with Kim and Victoria about their backgrounds in fishing, environmental stewardship and their efforts to create value-added products to sustain small, local fisheries. We will focus on the sustainability of sourcing seafood locally, the differences of fresh vs. frozen, wild caught vs. farmed, and much more.  Kim and Victoria will speak to the importance of supporting our California fishing industry, and how your purchasing power makes a difference. A lively Q&A will follow where all your seafood questions can be asked and answered. 

One of our Gourmandise Chefs will be demonstrating how to break down and filet a whole fish, provided by Get Hooked. Those in attendance will get a filet to take home and cook! 

Get Hooked was founded by Kim Selkoe and Victoria Voss, two bad-ass women who know the value of making healthy food tasty, convenient and fun for our families. Their passion for local seafood and shared ties to the Santa Barbara fishing community led them to this venture together.

SOURDOUGH 101
 

Gather 'round as we knead, stretch, fold and proof our way to beautiful, naturally leavened loaves. You'll come into class and shape two loaves of bread using dough our chef has prepared; one boule and one pan loaf. Once nestled in proofing baskets and loaf pans to rise, we will gather to learn about the science of wild yeast, gluten and explore the rainbow of flavors and textures of different varieties of heirloom grains (milled in Pasadena at Grist & Toll))! You'll taste Spelt, Rye, Hard Reds and Whites and Sonora wheats before choosing your favorites to make your own bread dough.

Following a quick break, you'll feed a sourdough starter and prepare a levain, then mix the dough you'll take home to bake your own loaves after class. Once the loaves you shaped are fully proofed, we'll learn to expertly slash and bake them and, while they're busy baking away in the ovens, we will make a batch of jam and churn some butter with the loveliest cream from our friends at Straus.

Please bring one large bowl to class, a jar for your starter and a large paper bag to carry your loaves home with! Stone-milled flours from Grist & Toll are available for purchase in our storefront for all your bread-making dreams.

LEARN THE SCIENCE BEHIND:
Wild yeast
Fermentation
Hydration and Extraction
Milling and history of wheat cultivation
 
MAKE:
Sourdough Starter
Dough for Two Loaves of Bread
