thedepanneur.ca

Join award-winning chef Caroline Ishii for a hands-on class in quick pickles, root-to-shoot pesto, preserves and herb salts using peak local harvest produce.

In this hands-on workshop, chef Caroline Ishii will share practical and creative ways to make the most of the seasonal harvest while reducing food waste. Using fresh local produce, participants will learn how to fully utilize all parts of bountiful autumn vegetables —  including tops, stems, leaves and other often-overlooked ingredients — into delicious, versatile dishes to enjoy now or preserve for later, with no complicated canning required.

Caroline will share quick, simple techniques and adaptable base recipes that will give you the confidence to create your own versions at home using whatever is abundant in your garden, CSA box or farmers’ market haul.

Together you’ll make a root-to-shoot pesto, two Japanese-inspired quick pickles, and a delicious seasonal preserve. If you have favourite jars or containers you’d like to reuse, please bring them!

Many of the ingredients will be sourced from local farmers and markets just before the workshop, so…
