The Uncommon Café Hosts Delish Workshops This June
31 May
Our friends at The Uncommon Café, 477 Powell Street, have another great line up of classes this Spring. Whether you wish to brush up on your baking skills, canning skills or need a little help with that summer party, they’ve got you covered. Classes are led by Valentine Kitamura owner of Tartine Maple. Valentine was born and raised in France and is a chef that has worked in hotels in Paris, Singapore, New Orleans and Toronto. She now works with The Uncommon Café, a commissary and café and regularly hosts classes. We’ve set out below their next series of classes which we expect will be delicious and fun.
Cooking Class: Brioche Making – June 7th 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Valentine will teach you how to make Brioche. Once you have the basic dough mastered, she will teach you how to make a Basic Brioche Loaf, Braided Brioche, Brioche Cinnamon Rolls and Brioche BBQ Pork Buns. What I love best about their classes, you get to enjoy a class of wine while brushing up on your kitchen skills. You can book your spot online through Eventbrite.
Preserve The Summer Bounty – June 11th 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Valentine will demonstrate the basics of canning and will teach you how to make Strawberry Jam, Pickled Beets & Carrots, Preserved Lemons and Rhubarb Sauce. While the demonstration happens, you get to sip on a glass of wine and you get to go home with items made in class. Again, registration is through Eventbrite.
Plan A Summer Party – Wednesday, June 21st 6:00 pm– 9:00 pm
This class will get you ready to host your next summer party. Recipes chosen are easy and perfect for a crowd. Some of the items you will be learning to make include:
o Gazpacho: Spanish cold tomato soup served with all the trimming; timeless and refreshing
o Focaccia: Italian flatbread; top it with anything and add to the side of all your party tables
o Beef Kofta Kebabs: Lebanese inspired dish pack with flavor! Served with Pitta bread and Tzatziki.
o Season’s Fruits Pana Cotta:
Once the food has been prepared, you will get to sit back and enjoy what’s been prepared with a glass of wine. To register, visit Eventbrite.
It just happens that they are currently offering 20% off all classes. Not sure how long that will last, but if you wish to take advantage of it while it’s offered, use the code SAVE20 when registering.
