This is “Small Bites,” a South Florida Sun Sentinel feature with tiny tidbits on the food and beverage scene — because we know that sometimes you just don’t have room for a long article. You want a little news brief instead, an amuse bouche of information, if you will. Enjoy!
WHAT:
Feeding South Florida — a hunger-relief organization — is turning into “Teaching South Florida.”
Well, for a few days in August anyway.
The non-profit is hosting a series of cooking classes in its Community Kitchen at their Palm Beach County warehouse in Boynton Beach. After getting hands-on culinary experience, participants can take their creations home to enjoy. You must be 18+ years of age (you can bring a child to the tarte-making class). A portion of the proceeds support Feeding South Florida’s mission to end hunger in South Florida.
The instructor will be chef Susan Taves, the director of culinary services for Feeding South Florida. Taves owned a boutique catering company before working for a corporate dining company in Austin, Texas, as an executive chef on the Google account. She also taught in several culinary programs and consulted with Sandals Resorts.
SCHEDULE AND COST:
- Taco Tuesday class on Tuesday, Aug.15, 6-7:30 p.m. $70 per person: You will make tortillas and a pasilla chili sauce. Chicken and mushroom fillings will be available as well as traditional taco toppings.
- A Tarte for Two on Saturday, Aug. 19, 2-3 p.m. $55 for two people (and one minor): You will be instructed on how to make a crust for an apple filling to make a tarte.
- Sushi Workshop on Friday, Aug. 25, 6-7:30 p.m. $70 per person: You will be taught the fundamentals of sushi and prepare traditional Japanese sushi rice before making vegetarian and spicy tuna nori rolls as well as nigiri sushi.
