We ask so much of ourselves today! Women and men both have challenging jobs that require huge commitments of time and energy, but it doesn't stop there. We have spousal and family relationships that require time, attention, and nurturing. We have hobbies and interests; homes that need decorating, landscaping, cleaning, and maintenance; we have children who require our loving presence, attention and guidance, not to mention chauffering! And we're fueling all those demands on our energy with fast food, convenience foods, and take-out. It doesn't work. We need real food, honest food, full of vitamins and minerals, and so do our families. I invite you to come back to the table, to savor the difference real food can make in your energy level and your sense of well-being. I invite you to learn simple food preparation, with fresh ingredients, seasonal cooking that anchors us, that lets us live in harmony with the rhythms of the Earth.
. . . . . . . Cooking class size at Come Back To The Table is limited. I believe there is a significant value to the hands-on learning process, that we learn best by "doing" as opposed to watching someone else do it. How can we know when the dough has risen enough if we don't feel it, if we don't experience it coming together? How do we know how much wine to add to the sauce if we aren't right there to add it ourselves, then taste it immediately to see how it changes the flavor? And again, after the alcohol has burned off? Have we seared the tenderloin correctly? Did we sear it "enough?" We learn by doing, by checking our progress along the way, by receiving confirmation for our efforts, and by tasting and enjoying the final product. We need to have time to ask questions, to share our experiences with food, to get to know one another, and to feel free in the kitchen. . . . . . . .
