BYOA - Bring your own apron

Host a hands-on cooking party in your home with the help of CalGirl Kitchen! These 12 women whipped up a delicious, healthy, gourmet meal in no time. With glasses of wine in hand, they managed the art of serious multi-tasking in front of the stove. On the menu - yes, there are some repeats:

-Smoky corn & tomato bruschetta on none else than Prairie Thunder baguette

-Farro salad with capers, roasted peppers & marcona almonds

-Roasted beets with feta - maximizing fresh beets from Homeland on Britton & May

-Prosciutto wrapped chicken (well it might have been stuffed with tellegio too)

-Homemade lemon curd w/ fresh blueberries & crushed gingersnaps

Upcoming August classes

If you miss tomorrow night's class entitled Summer Fare, there's always next Thursday's Farmers' Market class at Jamie's (8/26).  Think lots of fresh veggies and fruit at peak ripeness. Sign up and experience first-hand how quality ingridents dictate the flavor of your food.

Tomorrow night's menu includes a tomato and goat cheese tart, fattoush salad, Sicilian-style grilled pork, farro with Catalan dressing (another ode to Heidi Krahling of Insalatas), nectarine & plum crisp with homemade toasted coconut ice cream.
