Sharing the Table
Thanksgiving is such a great American holiday! It's a uniting event celebrated all across the country. The holiday's centerpiece is the table we share with others on that day. It's a flexible feast with a personality that's full of both tradition and innovation.

IN THIS ISSUE, while others are "talking turkey," we're focused on the potatoes. We've had Thanksgiving celebrations without turkey (vegetarian years), but never a table without potatoes! We're serving Istrian Potatoes, a Parmesan Potato Gratin, and an unusual twist on Twice-Baked Potatoes. Also, we share our tips for better Mashed Potatoes and Gravy.
Plenty of Potatoes Please
Our Thanks to You!

HOLIDAY QUICK BREADS 

Thursday, November 14, 2013 - 6:30 pm, $35

Gayle Shank - Class Coordinator, The Cook's Shop

When we think of Holiday breads we think of too much time in the kitchen for rising. These breads are gorgeous and do not require a rising time. Gayle will feature Winter squash bread, Holiday fruit bread (NOT that thing you get and don't eat), Chocolate hazelnut bread, and cranberry scones. Great for giving as gifts or just eating! Class is limited to 16.

SOUS VIDE, "WATER OVEN " COOKING 101 AND WINE PARING

Monday, November 18, 2013 - 6:30 pm, $55 

Dagmar Kupsche - The Cook's Shop
& Sally Oliver - House of Wines 

This is an exciting 2 part class! What is Sous Vide? It's a temperature controlled water bath that's a cross between a crock pot and an oven. Used in the food industry for years, they allow you to cook foods perfectly without loss of moisture or flavor while making it almost impossible to overcook. New technology has now brought the price of these ovens down to affordable levels. To demonstrate the abilities of this unique cooking method, Dagmar will be creating Poached Salmon Salad with Cucumber Dressing, Sirloin Steak with Gratin Dauphinois (potatoes), Cranberry Walnut Stuffed Turkey Breast with Beets in Orange Juice and Agave Nectar, and Poached Pears in Red Wine ala Mode. Yes, all will be prepared ala Sous Vide! To top this class off, Sally Oliver from House Of Wines will discuss and sample four wines to accompany the menu! Class is limited to 16.
