Recent Events:

   

September 2008

September 7th Sunday / 2-4pm
The Six Great Varietals of Tea
, at
 The Institute of Culinary Education (ICE), New York, NY.

Bob and Mary Lou Heiss' class will highlight the unique attributes of each of the major classes of tea - green, white, yellow, oolong, black and pu-erh. Emphasis will explain the relationships between class of tea and the impact of flavor from terroir, tea bush varietals, cultivation and harvesting techniques and the techniques of leaf  manufacture. This class will be jam-packed with information and is a terrific opportunity to taste some spectacular teas. Please pass the word, and hopefully we will see you there!

September 22nd - October 20th / Mondays 6:30-8:30pm
Exploring the World of Specialty Food
,
a five week, evening adult education program at Greenfield Community College, Greenfield, MA (at the Downtown Campus on Main Street).

Each Monday we will teach a 'palate challenging' class at Greenfield Community College. Students will learn to distinguish 'flavor like a pro' by tasting and evaluating distinctive, artisan examples of familiar pantry items such as chiles, chocolate, chutney, coffee, olive oil, tea, and vinegar.

This is a great opportunity for all those who have decided to eat out less and get back into the kitchen and cook. No matter if you are an avid cook or returning to the kitchen, this is a great opportunity to get re-acquainted with the great taste of artisan ingredients and condiments and see how easy it is to add delicious flavor to your dishes for very little cost.
