  • Tuesday, October 13, 6:00 pm – 7:15 pm – Advanced Techniques for Vegetarians: Root Vegetables, Online

    With cooler temperatures comes a whole new world of vegetables to play with, from your everyday potatoes and carrots to knobby celery root and big bunches of beets. It’s all too easy to fall into a same-old roasting routine with root vegetables, though. In this class, we’ll teach you two techniques that make the most of the flavors and textures of colder-weather produce—and neither one demands turning on the oven. First, we’ll use a stovetop low-liquid boil technique to transform the humble parsnip into an addictive side dish that marries its earthiness with floral honey, spicy caraway and fruity cider vinegar. Then, we’ll put a grater to good use as we transform fennel and celery root into a salad that is crunchy, bright and shockingly quick to throw together. The best part? These two techniques are easy to apply to other hardy vegetables. Join us for a class that will change the way you look at root vegetables.

    Bonus: All attendees of this class will receive a one-time $15 coupon to the Milk Street Store after class. This event has limited spots, and you must register in advance via Eventbrite. One sign-up covers one device. Closed Captioning is available for this event.

    Immediately after registering, you will get a confirmation email that contains the Zoom meeting log-in information. One week prior to class (or within 48 hours of registering, if you sign up less than a week in advance), you will receive an email with the ingredients, equipment and prep you’ll need to cook along with us, if you choose.

    After class, you will receive a recording of the event, as well as a packet with recipes and resources that we discuss during the event. If you have any questions about this class, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via cookingschool@177milkstreet.com.

  • Wednesday, August 1, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm – Summer Vegetables

    Vegetables are not “side-dishes” anymore; in fact, vegetables take center stage in most cuisines around the world. Learning how to make them shine, however, takes some know-how, and in this hands-on cooking class on Wednesday, August 1 from 6 – 9 you will learn techniques for making vegetables bright and flavorful—the star of any meal. Join Milk Street Cooking School instructors to make four dishes perfect for summer’s peak produce: Palestinian Tomato-Herb Salad with Sumac, Spanish Ratatouille (Pisto Manchego), Shaved Zucchini and Herb Salad with Parmesan, and Greek Cabbage Salad with Carrots and Olives (Politiki Salata). You will also learn some of our favorite cooking techniques to use on almost any vegetable, no recipe needed.

    This is a hands-on cooking class. Tickets are $125, and take place at 177 Milk Street in Boston. To register, visit www.177milkstreet.com.
