Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate!!!!!
Have you ever wondered what the differences are between bittersweet, semisweet, dark and milk chocolates? Do you know what the percentages of cacao on chocolate packages mean or how the chocolate making process transforms a bean into a mesmerizing truffle? Would you be delighted to learn the health benefits of chocolate? We’ll explore these and any other questions that you may have about “the ethereal chocolate”, and we’ll put all of our senses to the test as we compare the aroma and flavor of chocolates from around the world. And to put the icing on the cake, we’ll make truffles to take home! Join me for a Chocolate Tasting Extravaganza! February 13, 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. $45 Limit 14. Classes take place at Tie Your Apron, 10 Longmeadow Way, Acton, Massachusetts.
Waves of Grain(Cooking with Whole Grains)
Whole grains provide us with vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients and are also rich in “good” carbohydrates. When eating whole grains, we feel fuller longer, since whole grains and fiber take longer to digest. Research shows that filling up on high-fiber foods may help us to prevent weight gain or even encourage weight loss. In this class, we’ll focus on how to prepare the wondrous variety of grains available to us such as quinoa, brown rice, farro, oatmeal, wheatberries, and bulgur, and we’ll prepare a variety of healthy recipes such as fresh lemon and herb bulgur pilaf, curried quinoa salad with mango, farro and pinenut tabbouleh and date nut muffins. Recipes may vary according to availability of ingredients. March 6, 6:00 p.m.-9:30 p.m. $75 Limit 8. Students will dine on the food that they have prepared at the conclusion of each class. Classes take place at Tie Your Apron, 10 Longmeadow Way, Acton, Massachusetts.
