Part I: SUMMER SOLSTICE AND JUNE FRUITS
Friday, 6/20/2008 $65

Join us on the eve of the longest day of the year with our friend and local cultivator of the best friggin' produce we know, Farmer Al from Frog Hollow (www.froghollow.com). This farm grows some of the sweetest, juiciest, tree-ripened peaches, cherries, apricots, nectarines, pears, asian pears, pluots, and plums you've ever tasted!! We'll start this Friday night off by tasting local oysters, savory snacks, and sipping champagne. Farmer Al will then talk to us about a day in the life of running one of our best local farms, as well as the importance of buying local and the benefits received from doing so.

After the presentation and appetizers, we will sample assorted fresh fruits from Frog Hollow and follow California Table recipes to make delicious fruit-filled pastries.

 

Part II: CANNING CLASS
Sunday, 8/17/2008 $65

Part II of our Local Summer "Gettin Fruity" tri-part series. Expanding upon the knowledge from our part I fruit exploration class, this canning class will help enable us to bottle up a slice of summer to enjoy throughout the year. California Table will provide the organic, local fruit, the necessary tools, and all the know-how to successfully preserve our summer's finest produce. Everyone will walk away with their own jarred goods and recipes for your future canning endeavors. (Plus, you will be everyone's favorite gift-giver this upcoming holiday season!)

California Table will also provide accompanying appetizers and beverages.

 

Part III: TOMATO TIME

What does heirloom mean? Where and how do they grow? Why have they become all the rage in the last few years? In this final segment of our "Gettin Fruity" series, we will be learning all there is to know about the fascinating tomato, including (but not limited to) facts about different varietals, comparative taste testing, and incredible recipes to cook at home. Never fear, you will get your hands dirty trying out some of these recipes in our California Table kitchen to prepare you for an at-home culinary adventure.
