Mussels and Clams at Home

Saturday, November 18
12pm EST | 5pm WET (UK/Portugal)
60 mins | Live on Zoom

Sometimes I feel like I’m on a mission to get mussels, clams and other mollusks into more homes. They are so delicious, nutritious and come together in a pinch. They are also so fun to take to different corners of the world, depending on your whims. You can experience the tastes of southeast Asia to Japan, to France, to Morocco and everywhere in between, just by playing with your accompaniments. My son is a huge fan of clams and mussels in particular so we make them often.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to shop and know freshness

  • How to store in the fridge

  • How to clean and purge sand

  • How to know which to discard and not eat

  • How to Cook different ways. I’ll do:

  • Mussels in thai curry

  • Clams with butter, garlic, parsley and lemon

It’s always a ton of fun to cook live with you, but if you miss the live class it will be recorded!

Ever wanted to buy a whole fish( today we’ll do round fish) and know exactly what to do with it? Let’s take care of that in this class. We’ll talk about how to clean, gut and scale fish, (even though your fishmonger can do that for you), then practice filleting. I’ll then show you two different cooking methods.

What you’ll learn:

  • Cleaning, gutting, and filleting round fish

  • Seared, skin side down for a crispy skin.

  • Baked in parchment paper, (en papillote)

We’ll also discuss other options along the way and answer questions as we go.

This class will really demystify how to work with whole fish, even if you just want to cook them whole!

Over the years I’ve gotten so many questions about pans. This little workshop is long overdue and I’m really excited to dive into this topic with you. I’m a sucker for all things kitchen tools and our pans are fundamental to so much of what we do. If you’ve been putting off cleaning your pans, or re-seasoning them, take advantage of this live and let’s bang out the project together!

What you’ll learn:

  • How to maintain and use cast iron and carbon steel pans and why you have no need for “non-stick”/teflon.

  • What to cook and what not to cook in cast iron vs stainless or enameled cast iron

  • How to keep your stainless or copper pans shiny

  • How to sear fish without it sticking

  • How to cook eggs in either stainless, or cast iron without them sticking

Live Class | Cassava Tortillas

Live Class | Cassava Tortillas

Saturday, October 16
12pm EST | 5pm WEST (Portugal)
60 mins | Live on Zoom
$18

In this class we’re going to dive into all things Tortillas! These are not the corn or wheat flour tortillas you are likely used to, but cassava or yucca flour. Ever since I started making these, they’ve been at least a monthly staple in our home. They’re easy to make and always a hit. Cassava flour yields a really special texture that gives a nice chew to these tortillas. We use them as a vessel for tacos, quesadillas, like a roti alongside curries or even as a sweet bite with nut butter and honey.

What you’ll learn:

  • Making the dough

  • Rolling out between parchment vs pressing with a tortilla press

  • Cooking

  • Storing

  • 2 variations on the dough (green w/spinach, red w/beet powder)

  • Ideas on fillings

By the end of the class you’ll have a stack of tortillas to enjoy for a delicious lunch. It’s always a ton of fun to cook live with you, but if you miss the live class I will share a recording.
