A Teachable Feast is my effort to bring food knowledge to people in small friendly groups, in my kitchen, or your kitchen, or a local cafe or a lecture space, or an open-air market. It's Food 101, where you learn directly from food practitioners who might show you how to cook, or garden, or shop, or slice and dice, or think about how you get your food and why it makes a difference. A Teachable Feast is thought for food.

I learned a lot while I was gone...
Hello out there...if anyone is still out there... I'm back after having to take a short break from A Teachable Feast so I could adjust to a new job. If you're reading this, I want to thank you for waiting, and for coming back. I hope I won't need any more breaks anytime soon!
In the time I was "away" I continued my food education. Lester Esser, my friend the chef, taught a class here called "Taking the Eew Out of Tofu." It was pretty fantastic. He showed us the difference between soft and hard tofu and how to handle them. We learned how to make stir-fried tofu with noodles and veggies, a tofu fruit smoothie, Buffalo tofu, and wow---a tofu creme brulee that was as good as the real deal.
The four guests in the class came away excited to have another element to add to their usual line-up of meals. I hope to work with Lester to offer this class again in the spring or summer. If you'd like to host the class in your house, post a comment here and I'll contact you to make arrangements.
