Join us for a Filipino feast! In this class, we will learn how to make two traditional Filipino dishes. The first, Filipino Adobo, is the “national dish”, and is meat or vegetables marinated and braised in soy sauce, vinegar and peppercorns. We will also make Putong Puti, a rice flour muffin that is steamed instead of baked.

This class will be taught by Maria Garrido. Maria was born and raised in Florida in a Chamorro and Filipino household. After living in Louisiana and San Francisco, she moved to Vermont in 2005 to attend the New England Culinary Institute (NECI) and was most recently at the Burlington School Food Project.

In this workshop we will discuss the basics of lactofermentation, the science behind how it works, the health benefits and how you can do it yourself. The first part of the session will be discussion based, followed by getting our hands dirty making mixed vegetable ferments. No experience is necessary, but everyone should come to class with a curious mind and expect to leave with a jar of their ferment, class handouts, and fermentation fervor!

This class will be led by Christa Bevan, a fermentation enthusiast who has been turning stray vegetables into delicious ferments for over a decade. Her favorite ferment is radicchio with fennel seed and lemon zest. She lives in Essex with her husband and children.

This class will be held in person at the South End City Market location, and materials will be provided.

Join "The Pie Guy" as he demos one of his unique recipes--strawberry balsamic pie!

Gary Stuard, "The Pie Guy!", was born and raised in Texas. He and his husband of 16 years moved to Vermont in late 2019 in order to make their home in the Green Mountain State. His mother and her mother, Grandma Creagh, made the most incredible home baked pies, which made a deep and lasting impression on Gary, as their pies were beautiful and delicious expressions of their love for family and friends. It is their approach to pie baking that inspires Gary in his pie/tart baking, as well as his desire to share their skills and love of great food with others.

Class will be held on the Microsoft Teams platform, and joining instructions will be sent to participants in advance.
