Sara's Seasonal Eats

Introduction: I make sure each meal or lesson is perfectly matched to you! I love seeing people gather together for a meal and I especially love when guests are excited or moved by the meal they eat. We live in such a fast paced world that it's so important to remember to slow down, take a seat, be grateful for what's in front of you and enjoy what you're eating. Giving cooking lessons is also great joy to me, to show people how easy and fun cooking your own meals can be. Some example menus: Little bites Trio di bruschette- (toasted bread 3 ways) Fave e Pecorino with optional pancetta Sautéed mushrooms Tomatoes, cucumber and basil Whole Roasted Branzino with portuguese "punched potatoes" and olives. Sample Cooking lessons: Breakfast for beginners- I can help first-time cooks learn their way around the kitchen in a fun and memorable way, making granola, sweet and savory crepes and eggs benedict. Hearty Autumn soups- Soups are a great way to get more vegetables in your diet, they also freeze very well so you can make defrost for an easy lunch or dinner. Baking: Breads and cakes. I love bread. All kinds. We can make an Italian focaccia or pizza, a rich brioche for a special Sunday brunch or get a sourdough started. I enjoy baking healthy cakes that you don't need to feel guilty about eating, using honey or agave to sweeten them, yogurt or olive oil instead of butter and shredded vegetables for texture and sweetness. Yum!
