IF IT’S TUESDAY, IT MUST BE VEGETARIAN CUISINE
AT CULINARY UNDERGROUND SCHOOL FOR HOME COOKS
Monthly Southborough Workshop Features Menus Committed to
the Art & Craft of Vegetarian Cooking

(Southborough MA) – In response to a groundswell of interest in vegetarian cooking, Culinary Underground School for Home Cooks is pleased to offer the popular Vegetarian Tuesday Series once a month throughout 2011. The next installment of this creative series – The French Vegetarian – is slated for Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM at the school’s brand-new location: 21 Turnpike Road/Route 9, Southborough MA, and registration is first-come, first-served. The cost is $75.

Vegetarian Tuesdays introduces home cooks to classic cooking techniques that are the building blocks of fine vegetarian cooking. In each workshop, students prepare a complete menu, from appetizer to dessert. Students will gain confidence in planning and preparing healthy and delicious vegetarian meals.

“It may seem that vegetarianism is the antithesis of French cuisine, but not so!” confirmed Chef/Director Lori Leinbach. “Being a vegetarian in France is not that difficult, with the culinary emphasis on fresh vegetables. We’ll apply classic techniques to seasonal ingredients for a typical – and ethereal – menu. We give options for ovo-lacto and vegan versions of the same recipes.”

The February 8th workshop will include the following menu items, which students will learn, practice, and sample:
Charred Fennel Soup with Herb Gremolata
Vegetable Torte with Puff Pastry Crust
Bruléed Rice Pudding

Space is limited; registration for classes at Culinary Underground School for Home cooks is first-come, first-served either online at www.culinaryunderground.com, or by calling 508-904-6589.

About Culinary Underground School for Home Cooks (CU)
Culinary Underground School for Home Cooks is committed to furthering the art and craft of home cooking through engaging and educational hands-on and demonstrations classes. Using the best seasonal ingredients, mastering techniques, minimizing prep, and maximizing flavor are the focus of our classes. We believe that good eating and breaking bread with others are two of life’s greatest pleasures, and are at the heart of everyday cooking for family and friends. We share with our students a growing concern of what is in our food and where it comes from. To that end, we support small, local, organic farms and dairies, seek out area restaurants whose chefs cook locally, and invite those chefs, farmers, and purveyors into the classroom to share their knowledge and ideas with our students. Located at 21 Turnpike Road/Route 9, Suite E, Southborough MA 01772, the school was founded in 2004 by Chef/Director Lori Leinbach, an experienced educator and personal chef. The staff of four culinary experts teaches children and adults in small classes of 8-12 persons, Monday through Friday, daytime and evenings; special classes and events are also held on weekends. CU students of all levels and interests come from as far as CT, NH, and RI, as well as from Central and MetroWest Massachusetts. Additionally, great tools students use in class can be purchased at the new, on-site Kitchen Corner store.
