If you want to fill your pantry and refrigerator with basic ingredients to use in your cooking, or are simply curious about learning culinary skills beyond meal preparation, these classes are for you! Bake bread; make jams and jellies; craft cheese and butter; learn the art of fermentation; prepare mustards, herbal vinegars and oils; and learn how to use edible flowers. Ingredients will be hand-picked on Dog Mountain Farm or provided by other local producers, and preparations will be done in the Farm's outdoor kitchen.
$20 per class. Remaining classes in the series include:
Offered every Wednesday and Sunday, June 22-September 11, 2011. A hands-on culinary experience! Tour the farm with our resident chef, gathering produce and edibles to prepare into a delicious meal enjoyed onsite in our orchard, complete with wine pairings. A great way to entertain out-of-town guests or for a unique lunch out!
Join us to learn the basics of the home brewing process and how to create beer in your own kitchen, creatively using herbs, hops, fruits, and vegetables along with ingredients from your local homebrew store. After baking tasty pretzels to enjoy as we sample some home- brewed beers, we'll craft a malt extract brew complete with a few unique additions from the garden, and take in a short history lesson of hop growing in the Snoqualmie Valley!
Instructor: Kathleen McKeehen, Botanical Artist and Instructor
Learn the basics of classical botanical watercolor painting, which will include techniques in measurement, drawing, and understanding how light reveals form, along with practice in color mixing. The application of controlled washes and dry-brush technique will contribute further, producing an image that is three-dimensional, accurate, and aesthetically appealing--the goal of botanical painting--and equally effective in painting other subjects realistically.
