  • Monday, January 23, 7:00 pm – All About Citrus

    There are some things that are just better in winter.  Oysters, slowly simmered stews, and perhaps the most overlooked – citrus!  Ever wonder what exactly a Meyer lemon tastes like, or what to do with the crates of clementines that pop up during the holiday season?  In this Stir class, to be held Monday, January 23 at 102 Waltham Street in Boston, beginning at 7 pm, you’ll cover everything from blood oranges to kaffir limes and how to incorporate citrus into a range of sweet and savory dishes – and cocktails.  $145, and early sign up is a must.  Call 617-423-7847 to reserve your spot.  Classes are non-refundable and due to limited seating, exchanges for future classes are not possible.  If a guest is unable to attend a reserved class for any reason, the individual will still receive a copy of that class’s cookbook, if applicable.  Picture below from www.thekitchn.com.

  • Saturday, January 21, 2:00 pm – Magnificent Marmalades with Bonnie Shershow

    Winter citrus will take center stage as Bonnie Shershow, a Cambridge resident who makes some of Formaggio Kitchen’s favorite jams, teaches us the ins and outs of classic marmalades. Bonnie will demonstrate how to make marmalade, and discuss the different types of citrus you can use to make your own at home. We will wrap up by tasting a couple of cheeses that pair well with marmalade, and each guest will get their own jar of fresh citrus jam to take home.  This class, sponsored by Formaggio Kitchen, will be held at the classroom annex located at 67 Smith Place in Cambridge.  The class fee is $45 per person, and  you may register on line at www.formaggiokitchen.com.
