Dinner with The Nimble Cook

From our organizers:

Join us for a dinner by a chef who believes “A scrap is just food you haven’t figured out how to use.” With her first book, The Nimble Cook , Ronna Welsh will take cooks from “there’s nothing to eat” to spectacular dishes. Instead of shopping for a rigid weekly menu, a nimble cook shops for ingredients, and thinks of them as springboards to many dishes, some unplanned.

On the MENU:

Poached Garlic in Brown Butter with Flaky Salt, Handmade Water Crackers, Braised and Pickled Kale Stems

Early Spring Vegetables in Cheese Stock with Fresh Herbs

Whole Roasted Market Fish with Pickled Garlic Vinaigrette

Ricotta Custard with Dried Lemon Honey and Balsamic Figs

_______

Signed copies of THE NIMBLE COOK will be available for purchase.

We sell beer and wine.

This is NOT a BYOB establishment.

Please arrive promptly at 7pm.

“Ronna Welsh cooks the way I do: efficiently, vigilantly, skillfully, and frugally.This is foremost a teaching bookthat makes you think about ingredients rather than recipes. Understanding how versatile ingredients are so you can incorporate them in any recipe is the proper, intelligent way to cook.”—Jacques Pépin
