Community Cooking Classes...Coming Soon!
I’m excited to announce that community cooking classes are coming to the Old North End. On Tuesday night, I taught a pilot class on yogurt-making. It was a lot of fun to connect with neighborhood folks around cooking in the Old North End.
The space is a soon-to-open coffee shop called the Chubby Muffin, with a big, brand-new kitchen in the rear. Skinny Pancake bought the space, on the corner of Oak Street and Intervale Ave, to do more prep work for their two restaurant locations and to rent to neighborhood organizations and Intervale farmers for cooking and local food processing after-hours.
City Market will be renting the space twice/monthly. Our plan is to do a lot of local food preservation through the seasons, something that was always a challenge to do on-site at City Market. Here are the next two classes coming up in July. You can read more about it in the July Onion Skin, as well as in a Free Press article in Savorvore section coming out on Sunday, July 4th.
Sign up at the Customer Service Desk at City Market or by calling 861-9700 x. 0.
