💥Boom! We’re back!
September is one of the very best months for cooking - and eating- around the Bay Area and I cannot wait to share these menus with you!

September Cooking Class Schedule is linked in profile 📅

Tomatoes and Peppers (both sweet and with heat) are abundant and harvests, strong 🌶️ 💪. Get your fill while they’re so good!
🥒🍆This is also the season when the less-showy eggplants, cucumber and zucchini really shine! ✨ If you think they’re not your fave, give us a chance to show you otherwise 😉
📢 Cooking is just Moisture Management and drawing excess water out before cooking (whether surface salt or submerged in brine) is the key to revealing their flavor and magic!

🍇Regional, seasonal grapes abound in September and are the perfect bridge between Summer and Fall. They marry nicely with Summer’s sweet tomatoes and counter-balance the arriving bitter greens.

If you’re entertaining guests or planning a staycation, our Labor Day weekend menus put an extra shine on the foods and traditions of California Cuisine.
Check out our offerings and RSVP at the link- I’m happy to answer questions about our programs, menus or offerings!

Finally, it’s not too early to start inquiring and booking holiday parties! 🎄Prime dates book now 🍾 and are a delicious and fun way to celebrate the year and your team.

🌱Tips for cooking with fresh herbs!!⁣
🌿First and foremost, use them everywhere!
And use lots!! Mix them into salad greens, enliven a cooked dish with a complementary cooling and vibrant sauce but! generally avoid heating fresh herbs🙅‍♀️
🚫Heating herbs significantly suppresses their flavor and diminishes their impact so herbs are best applied off heat or at the end of the cooking process.

With a mint gelato recipe, I explain the difference of using a cold infusion (it takes more time but yields a more intense and true mint flavor) vs the more standard hot infusion

This can be a helpful approach when making a basil simple syrup, a mint tisane, a muddled pesto or a component to a dish that will otherwise not be cooked. !!

We’re always sharing techniques and tips to make your everyday cooking better with hands on cooking classes at First Class Cooking in downtown San Francisco.
