The Great Greenville Baking Class
Nov 13 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
M. Judson Booksellers

Join Pastry Chef Leslie on Sunday, November 13th at 2:00 pm for a baking class!

If you’ve had anything bread-based from Camilla Kitchen, you know the magic that is Pasty Chef Leslie’s baking. Now she wants to share that with all of you! This will be an intimate class held in the Gallery (4th floor) of M. Judson for ten people, where you’ll prepare your dough from start to almost finish. While you’ll bake your bread at home (and get all those good smells), you’ll still get to end the baking class with a tasting. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday!

Your ticket covers the cost of ingredients and instruction, with the option to add on the featured cookbook.

THE BREAD: OAT CINNAMON-RAISIN CHALLAH

“This recipe is a great way to show the new dimensions that whole grains can add to your bread both in flavor and in texture, and it’s also the perfect example of just how good challah should be. It’s a dryer dough, making it easier to work with and to shape (we’ll go with a simple three-strand braid for this one).”

THE BOOK

BREAD HEAD by Greg Wade with Rachel Holtzman

Greg Wade is an expert in the out-of-this-world tastes and textures of long-fermented, hand-shaped breads. The recipient of the James Beard Award for Outstanding Baker (2019) is committed to spreading the love for local, organic flours and long-fermented sourdough loaves far and wide as he kneads, stretches, and proofs his signature loaves each day at Publican Quality Bread in Chicago. Bread Head is his guide to making all your favorite professional-level breads, cakes, and pastries at home.

Bread Head takes home cooks through foundational recipes like Farmhouse Sourdough and Marbled Rye down a winding road to unexpected and delicious bakes. Sorghum and Rosemary Ciabatta, Wheat Neapolitan Pizza Dough, Ethiopian Injera, Indian Parathas, and Georgian Khachapuri will become welcome new staples in your culinary repertoire. For those with a sweeter tooth, try Greg’s Buckwheat Brownies, Wheat Brioche, and Cornmeal Whoopie Pies. Through accessible, teachable recipes that include baker’s percentages and capture the importance of hydration and hand-shaping, Greg will improve your baking know-how, confidence, and zeal in the kitchen.

The science and technique are all here: Go forth and explore the infinite universes of delights in each of Greg Wade’s inventive recipes.

Cook the Book: See You on Sunday
Nov 15 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
M. Judson Booksellers

Chef Teryi Youngblood Musolf grew up with a love of cookbooks, and there’s a reason half the cooks in town call her mama. Her skill in the kitchen is matched only by her warm way with a good story, a tip or a trick you’ll remember the next time you find yourself behind the stove.

So join Chef Teryi on November 15th for a seated, taste-and-learn event featuring Sam Sifton’s cookbook See You on Sunday. From big meats to big pots, with a few words on salad, and a diatribe on the needless complexity of desserts, See You on Sunday is an indispensable addition to any home cook’s library.

Your ticket includes a sampling of small plates and a wine pairing, Teryi’s expert instruction, and a copy of the cookbook for yourself.

THE MENU

Dish One: Whole Roasted Cauliflower

Dish Two: A Family Salad

Dish Three: Duck Ragu with Pasta

Wine Pairings included

BOOK SUMMARY

“People are lonely,” Sam Sifton writes. “They want to be part of something, even when they can’t identify that longing as a need. They show up. Feed them. It isn’t much more complicated than that.” Regular dinners with family and friends, he argues, are a metaphor for connection, a space where memories can be shared as easily as salt or hot sauce, where deliciousness reigns. The point of Sunday supper is to gather around a table with good company and eat.

From years spent talking to restaurant chefs, cookbook authors, and home cooks in connection with his daily work at The New York Times, Sam Sifton’s See You on Sunday is a book to make those dinners possible. It is a guide to preparing meals for groups larger than the average American family (though everything here can be scaled down, or up). The 200 recipes are mostly simple and inexpensive (“You are not a feudal landowner entertaining the serfs”), and they derive from decades spent cooking for family and groups ranging from six to sixty.

From big meats to big pots, with a few words on salad, and a diatribe on the needless complexity of desserts, See You on Sunday is an indispensable addition to any home cook’s library. From how to shuck an oyster to the perfection of Mallomars with flutes of milk, from the joys of grilled eggplant to those of gumbo and bog, this book is devoted to the preparation of delicious proteins and grains, vegetables and desserts, taco nights and pizza parties.
