Amphitheater Class

Knife Skills
Apr 13, 6-8:30pm

Sharpen your knife skills and hone your techniques in the second of two new amphitheater cooking classes. We all know how to slice and dice, but what does it mean to julienne, chiffonade, tournee, or oblique cut? Chef Patrick tackles these terms, breaking down the elements of each cut, explaining the context for their use, as well as their effects on texture and cooking time. Learn what knives to use, how to hone and sharpen your knife at home, and of course sample an assortment of snackery made through the use of each technique.
Join us at 6:00 in the Coltivare amphitheater for a fun and interactive class complete with demo and instruction, munchables, and an adult beverage pairing (sip with peace of mind, you won’t be wielding the knife in this class). An ideal class for couples, friends, and the outgoing solo cook looking to meet new people. No experience or expertise necessary.

$50 price per person is all inclusive (food/drink/instruction). Tickets available for purchase online through Eventbrite.

CSA Mystery Box
June 8, 6-8:30pm

Come play “Chopped” in the Coltivare kitchen! CSA shares often introduce us to new and previously unheard of vegetables (rutabagas, Jerusalem artichokes, and kohlrabi—oh my!) that confound us like a mystery box each week. Cooking with seasonal, local ingredients can present a creative challenge to our usual array of recipes. But falter no more! Learn to transform local goods into tasty and infinitely doable dishes.

Kick off at 6:00 with a quick round of introductions then get hands-on in the Coltivare culinary lab in a fun and interactive class complete with tastings, takeaways and a small drink pairing.

$50 price per person is all inclusive (food/drink/recipe cards). Expect to leave full, happy, and likely with leftovers! Tickets available for purchase online through Eventbrite.

While the class will take place inside our modern kitchen, the recipes and instructions given will prepare attendees to cook outside above an open fire using a Dutch oven. Share in Chef Patrick’s passion for campfire cooking!
