If you love homemade bread but you always thought it was too
challenging or time-consuming . . here's the workshop for you:
Baking Bread the (easy)
Traditional Way
This Roots & Wings workshop is taught by Coco Zordan, the local dynamo who taught our tomato sauce making and canning workshop earlier this fall. The group of us that had the good fortune to take that class learned about more than tomato sauce: we found out what to look for when purchasing olive oil, a technique for cleaning vegetables, the most essential kitchen tool (a sharp knife) and much more. Her motto of “healthy easy cooking from scratch” inspired us all.
Coco promises there's a quick and simple
way to make bread. She says, “In Baking Bread the (easy) Traditional Way, we'll be making dough in different ways: food processor, blender and by hand. I'll bring some dough ready to use: some for making sandwich bread or ciabatta, and some for making focaccia/pizza, and artisan rustic bread."
“By the end of the class people will be able to take some bread home as well as some dough to practice their baking skills later in their kitchen.”
As class size is small (6-8 people), we are offering this workshop twice. Please register as soon as you can.
WHERE: @ South Presbyterian Church 343 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY
* “I will send you a
couple of reminders before the class date to let you know what you'll need to
bring with you.” --Coco
ABOUT COCO ZORDAN

"Since
I moved from Italy to the US twenty years ago, I tried to recreate the flavors
that I had left behind. Flavors that were deeply connected to my mom, my
childhood, and my memories. Food is the main meme transmitted among
Italians. We love spending time at table, while talking about what we’re
eating, what we have eaten and what we’re going to eat next. Exchanging recipes
is our favorite hobby (also among men), along with sharing food with others as
a sign of friendship and love."
