We’ll begin with a couple of bruschetta and make a salad. Oh, and we'll probably figure out a quintessential Italian dessert as well. Sample Menu: Lasagna bolognese, arugula salad, olive oil cake. |

Mostly Mushrooms
Let's hear it for the fungi
I didn't grow up a fan. These were never on my table at home. Occasionally, there were some rather nasty canned mushrooms on a pizza but that was about it. However, after moving to the Pacific Northwest, I was introduced to locally cultivated and foraged mushrooms by Kurt of Grandview Mushrooms. He used to sell at Pike Place Market and became a friend and mushroom mentor. Now, I LOVE them!!! and eat almost a pound every week. If you want to be a healthy vegan or vegetarian, or for that matter a healthy omnivore, I'm convinced that these should be a part of your regular diet. We'll also include a salad and perhaps a dessert too.
I'm including recipes that for both cultivated and foraged mushrooms. See if you won't become a fan too! Onion and Mushroom Filling (can be used for almost anything from a tart, to omelet, to phyllo) Mushroom bolognese - Mushroom pasta Mushroom Duxelle (an essential in my frozen pantry) -for Mushroom Risotto |

Foods of the Americas
celebrating our gifts
As an anthropologist, from the University of New Mexico, I want to use this series of classes to share with you some of the ingredients and techniques used by native peoples long before Europeans came to the New World. We will focus each of the three classes on a group of native ingredients from different areas of the Americas. Hopefully, you will find this exploration as fascinating as I have.
Foods from the American Southwest and Mexico Corn, Beans, tomatillos, and Squash Foods and spices from Central America and the Caribbean plantains, avocados, chiles, vanilla and allspice Foods from South America potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and quinoa |

Brunch with Diane at the Martin
One of the things I love most about kitchens is how a group of strangers enters and a "family" leaves. Kitchens are magical places where the preparation and sharing of food creates a unique environment for sharing conversation, lots of laughter, and occasionally some dancing. This will be filled with some wonderful dishes based on local ingredients and yes....bubbles will be available. Let's enjoy an extended lunch time so we can all relax and share some stories and laughter. Menus : Classic Quiche Lorraine Skillet Breakfast Fruit Crumble Bubbles and Shrubs |
