Fall 2009 Kitchen Culture Workshop Series

We are very pleased to be able to invite you to our Fall 2009 Kitchen Culture Workshop Series. The goal is to put culture backing the kitchen where it belongs! While giving consumers the homestead skills they need to become producers, creating greater food security in every pantry, and to just have some plain old fun together making  good, clean and fair food.

These workshops are deliberately designed to be low tech and home-scale and emphasize hands-on-learning so that you can easily incorporate these kitchen arts into your daily or weekly routines. All food demonstrations will send you home with lots of information and samples, when possible. Please peruse the entire schedule - you may want to take more than one!

Annual RFFP membership is $50 and will discount all upcoming events and classes. Discounts are offered for farmers, students and seniors, please use the info email to inquire. We are trying to keep these events as affordable as possible without compromising our teaching staff or materials. Classes are intentionally small and they will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Any questions, please contact gianni@gianniortiz.com.

Let's have some fun!

We are delighted (and hope you will be too) with the caliber of teachers that will be leading the workshops.
