What does this post have to do with our family trip to Toronto (here, Niagara Falls)? Nothing, but it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Daphne picture!
I’m doing a few public classes around the SF Bay area in October that I want to mention. As always, I’d love for you to come to one (or more!) if you can. Make sure you introduce yourself, too, if we haven’t yet met in person.
October 7, 6:30 – 8:30 pm: Homeward Bound, in Novato, CA. A fantastic organization that helps homeless people, including families, in dozens of ways. They’ve set up an impressive culinary training center, which is where we’ll do the class. They were even kind enough to send me a few free tickets for this event, so if you’d like to come and really can’t afford it, let me know. If you can, though, they can really use the support.
October 23, 2 – 6pm, followed by dinner: San Francisco Zen Center. More zen cooking! A vegetarian class, co-taught with maestra Dana Velden, who also led the Tassajara cooking retreat we did a few months ago. Another remarkable setting, in the Julia Morgan-designed ZC building on the corner of Laguna and Page. This will be a slower, more deliberate class that I know will strike all the right chords for many of you.
October 28, 6:30 – 8:30 pm, Draeger’s Cooking School in San Mateo. An autumn-inspired menu, for folks in the south bay.
Hope to see you at one of them!




Hope your Toronto vacation was lovely. I have a question about Tilapia. Namely do you think the pomegranate molasses/lemon/maple syrup salmon recipe would work for Tilapia? And if not, any thoughts on something relatively simple to do with Tilapia for a dinner party for 10 people?
Hi Julie, yes, it would absolutely work. Give it a shot. Try dusting it with finely chopped chervil at the end.
darling picture!
