Hello friends!
It's been awhile since my last northeast trip and I'm excited to head your way at the end of the week. 
 
As many of you know I just finished the first draft of my kitchen book manuscript. It turns out I have a whole lot to say about how to kick ass in the kitchen. The bare bones essentials of getting to know your kitchen and getting hip to food preservation fit within two chapters of my home book, but I can't seem to fit a detailed action plan into 10 chapters devoted to the topic. Thankfully I have a wonderful editor at HarperCollins who translates my verbose (often-TMI) musings into positioning me into your helpful kitchen friend.
 
I have a few classes, events and demos coming up that I'd like to share with you plus a giveaway on the blog this week you don't want to miss.  
 
Upcoming classes and demos:  
April 27 & 28 - Coventry, CT 
Join me for an intro to pressure canning and/or a specialized pressure canning class in this series I'm teaching at the Coventry Regional Farmers' Market.
Saturday schedule includes a 9:30a-12:30p Pressure Canning 101: Stocks class and 2-5p Pressure Canning Soups and Sauces intensive. 


Sunday schedule includes another Pressure Canning 101: Stocks class and a Pressure Canning Spring Vegetables class. 
See entire class line up and and discounted pricing for signing up for two classes here. All classes include a recipe packet and light refreshments.

Get your action plan in place for when strawberries line market tables as far as the eye can see. See my recipe for strawberry fruit leather in the current issue of Edible Austin. Come to the Bowery on May 4 and learn how to use up your scraps in a delicious, fermented vinegar, too!
