FRESH SPRING!!!

Today's Menu:

*Pasta Primavera - vegan and dairy;

*Mixed green salad w/ beets, garbanzo beans, and homegrown carrot-lettes in a balsamic vinagrette;

*Amazon chocolate cake w/ fresh strawberries (vegan)





Today was a super fun class....we made a fresh pasta primavera, with broccoli, asparagus, Mexican spring squash, mushrooms, tomatoes, and pine nuts. The non-vegan option had a parmesan-cream sauce, definitely a dairy indulgence! This was a winner.






























Our star pastry chef Billy, with sous chefs Lilly, Isis, and a bevy of others eager to taste the crumbs, created an extraordinarily beautiful Chocolate Cake extravaganza.


























Almost a shame to cut it....but not quite.





We also had a visit today from Master Gardener Lissa Carter, who will help us in Herb's absence to wrest control of our garden back from the aphids, and plant more veggies to use in our cooking class. Doesn't get more local than our own backyard.

This group rocks, always makes my day preparing and eating good, fresh food together. If we had a kitchen, we'd be dangerous!
