Join Owen Petersen, and master the art of crafting homemade sourdough bread in his popular Sourdough Basics class. Leveraging his expertise as the former head baker and owner of Prairie Mill Bread, Owen will walk you through the sourdough process, from feeding your starter to achieving perfect results baking sourdough loaves in a Dutch Oven. During your class you'll prepare your own loaf of sourdough with Owen's guidance, then while your loaves rise, Kathryn will demonstrate and serve her sourdough Panzanella and a delightful seasonal soup, paired with slices of Owen's freshly baked bread. You'll also learn to use your throw away starter to make Owen's Sourdough Crackers. As the class wraps up, take home your handcrafted sourdough loaf, ready to bake the following day, along with a jar of Owen's signature sourdough starter, empowering you to continue your bread-making journey at home, with confidence.

Join Kathryn Joel as we work with paring knives and chefs’ knives during this Introductory Knife Skills class. If you choose to use our knives you’ll be using 8-inch Henckel chefs’ knives, but we invite you to bring your own knives along if you’d prefer. During your class, we’ll be focusing on the following basic skills: slicing and chopping onions and shallots; puréeing garlic; tomato concassé; chiffonade of leafy herbs; how to dice, slice and julienne vegetables; peeling round fruits; and segmenting citrus fruits. And as if all of that is not enough, while you’re busy chopping and slicing, we’ll also be whipping up a hearty slice of Bruschetta, a Chopped Middle Eastern Salad and a satifsfying bowl of French Onion Soup to enjoy before we send you home, armed with the knowledge and skills required to wield your knives with greater confidence and finesse on your own. NOTE: Attendance is limited to just 8 participants for this 100% handson class.
