Livestream: Savory Buckwheat Crepes Monday, November 29 5:30pm to 7:00pm Virtual programming Crêpes are not only a festive, fun-to-make dessert, they can be a healthy main dish, too. A specialty of Brittany in northwestern France, the original galettes crêpes date back to the 13th century and were first made with buckwheat flour. Today buckwheat galettes and their myriad fillings are a popular (and gluten-free!) main course throughout France. In this livestream class, we will learn the proper techniques for batter and filling preparation, pan execution and selection and use of crêpe making equipment. We will demo how to make buckwheat crêpes with a wintry butternut squash filling and wild mushroom and kale ragoût, as well as a galette complète--a crêpe filled with Comté, ham and topped with an egg. We will learn about regional Alpine cheeses, prepare an herbed vinaigrette dressing for the side salad, and learn about dried herb blends used in French cuisine. Instructor Anna Mays is an anthropologist who enjoys teaching about world culinary traditions, agricultural practices and the intersection between food, diet, culture and well-being. Anna trained at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and has lived in France. This livestream class will be held on the Microsoft Teams platform, and joining instructions will be sent to participants in advance. sign-up read more Mosaic of Flavor livestream: Kenya Wednesday, December 8 5:30pm to 7:00pm Virtual programming The Mosaic of Flavor cooking series is a collaboration between City Market and USCRI Vermont (US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants Vermont, formerly the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program).

Watch as Gary demos his macadamia nut and date pie, a perfect recipe to try out this holiday season! Class will be held on Microsoft Teams, and joining instructions will be sent to participants in advance. Gary Stuard, "The Pie Guy!", was born and raised in Texas. He and his husband of 16 years moved to Vermont in late 2019 in order to make their home in the Green Mountain State. His mother and her mother, Grandma Creagh, made the most incredible home baked pies, which made a deep and lasting impression on Gary, as their pies were beautiful and delicious expressions of their love for family and friends. It is their approach to pie baking that inspires Gary in his pie/tart baking, as well as his desire to share their skills and love of great food with others. sign-up read more Food for Talk: Salt & Time Sunday, December 12 (All day) Virtual programming Food for Talk is a book group for anyone interested in cooking.

We will feature some of the most beloved items you find on every “Adventsteller” in Europe (a traditional plate of baked goods, found in virtually every home during this time): Stollen, Lebkuchen, Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars) and Vanillekipferl (vanilla crescents). The class will start with a presentation about European holiday baking traditions and how each of the baked goods we’ll make in class is firmly rooted in those traditions. Heike will then demo some of the basic steps of making those specialties; sharing important tips and tricks when baking them at home. With recipes right from the bakery you can start making those specialties yourself in your home kitchen - just in time for the holidays.
