NEW DATE!
Do you have spice jars in your pantry that you've never touched? Are you curious about all of the colorful mounds of seeds and powders at spice markets but hesitant to try them?
In this class, we'll discuss a variety of spices, their origins and health benefits, distinguish between their whole and ground forms, and discuss proper usage and storage techniques. I’ll provide recipes for some notable spice blends and suggested usage for an array of spices while demonstrating an irresistible snack of spiced roasted chickpeas and masala chai tea. You’ll become familiar with the spices you have.
For the hands-on portion of this class, I will walk you through how to create your own freshly ground spice blend with the spices you already have on hand. You’ll discover and appreciate the spices in your cupboard and be inspired to use them daily.
