This month brings out the best of root vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, winter squash, hearty greens, and pumpkins. You’ll also find a variety of greens like mustard, collard, kale and chard.
Favorite fruits include apples, pears, and quince, as well as early season citrus.
The cold winter wind and short, dark days put us in the mood for a warm and hearty meal. Take advantage of the season’s star root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, onions and turnips and create a roasted root vegetable medley to complement your meal.
For the entree, feature a succulent roast that yields to the fork. A bright salad of peppery greens with a hazelnut vinaigrette would be a light and easy starter for meal. And for dessert? We like a warm caramel apple cobbler with crème anglaise. Happy Eating!

Gift certificates make great gifts for any occasion. The gift certificates can be in any amount that fits your budget and can be applied to a class or workshop of the recipient’s choosing. Best of all, the certificates can be purchased whenever it fits your schedule, and you won’t have to leave the house! Simply visit out website - Gift Certificates.
If you’d like to give the gift of a specific class, consider giving a series instead. Your friends and family will be delighted by the Hands on Basic Foundation Series, which incorporates recipes, kitchen tips and basic skills in an efficient and entertaining format. The class series will be held once a week for 6 weeks beginning January 8th. Do you have a future chef in the family? If so, perhaps the Culinary Boot Camp would be the ideal gift for him or her. Beginning January 14, the “camp” will cover everything necessary to create show-stopping meals of restaurant quality.
December is always busy and full of fun social engagements and parties.
