Exploring the World of Specialty
Food,
a five week, evening adult education program at
Greenfield Community College,
Greenfield, MA (at the Downtown Campus on Main Street).
Each Monday we will teach a 'palate challenging' class at
Greenfield Community College. Students will learn to
distinguish 'flavor like a pro' by tasting and evaluating
distinctive, artisan examples of familiar pantry items
such as chiles, chocolate, chutney, coffee, olive oil,
tea, and vinegar.
This is a great opportunity for all those who have decided
to eat out less and get back into the kitchen and cook. No
matter if you are an avid cook or returning to the
kitchen, this is a great opportunity to get re-acquainted
with the great taste of artisan ingredients and condiments
and see how easy it is to add delicious flavor to your
dishes for very little cost.
