“To those who consider life something other than a monstrous belly with a golden navel for all to worship;
To those who have tasted and preferred renunciation, simplicity and freedom;
To those who make an art of living;
To those who cultivate poverty as a spiritual exercise whatever their religion;
To those who find in each moment a life to live for;
To the unwilling poor, victims of society, property, climate, injustice, ignorance, overpopulation, stupidity, evil or dumb pride;
Because it is clear that peoples kitchens all over the world have learned to adapt to what’s available
and from the nearly nothing at their disposal make more than just enough to live on, make sturdy, simple pleasures and elemental feasts.”
-The People’s Cook Book, by James Kardon

March 15th — The Art of Organizing Food 7pm $10/person
A class that offers guidance on how to plan meals & combine food for great digestibility
We will explore meal planning by breaking down the meal into parts, looking at seasonal foods and learning how to build a solid pantry.
There are various schools of thought on how to combine food. We will be talking about combing patterns that allow the body to break down foods easily and absorb the maximum amount of the food’s nutrients. Honoring these combing patterns can allow us to feel energized after our meals and give us freedom from gas & bloating. Everyone will leave with a food combining chart.

March 17th – Cheddar Cheese Making Class Plus Wine Tasting!! 1pm
This recipe is a Cheddar shortcut. It’s great to use when you want to have a Cheddar type of cheese but save time in the process.Learn to make Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese on Saturday, March 17, from 1:00-4:30 PM made from raw milk fresh from the farm. The best way to learn to make cheese at home is doing just this – to actually help make cheese & experience what each step looks & feels like – both the art & science of cheesemaking. We will cover everything from the coagulation process of turning milk into firm curds, cutting and stirring the curds, and placing the cheese in the molds and starting the pressing process. Enjoy a glass of wine as you taste and learn.
I also carry an assortment of fine cheesemaking supplies – you will be able to purchase the basics you need and along with your newly acquired cheesemaking knowledge will be able to go home and make your own batch of cheese!
Classes are limited to 8 participants so we can have lots of hands-on participation. If you’re interested in attending this class your $65 payment will be your reservation, as I know from experience it will fill quickly. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or want to reserve a seat.
