Food truck cuisine – is that an oxymoron? No! Some of the best, most interesting food can be found on street corners these days – and what is a better comment on our mobile society? Explore some recipes we’ve had from street carts and trucks, both domestically and worldwide:

Vietnamese Banh Mi
Philly Soft Pretzels (Of Course!)
The Autogrill Panini
Pommes Frites with Tarragon Mayo

Japanese cuisine is not just sushi! An izkaya is a fun, casual Japanese food-and-drink establishment – dare we call it a pub? The offerings here are often referred to as “Japanese tapas” and they make for a fun and tasty evening. Our friendly beer maven from Julio’s Liquors will be on hand with the appropriate beers for sampling. Here’s just the start of our recipe list:

Korokke (Croquettes)
Karaage (Fried Chicken Bites)
Hiyahsi Chuka (Chilled Noodles)
Kushiyaki (Skewered Meat & Vegetables)

Note: Tuition price is per couple.
Southborough is not a BYOB town, but we have wine and beer for sale, by the glass or bottle.

Just a pancake in another form? Non, non! Master the art of making crepes, both sweet and savory. And they are not just French, either – seems like almost every cuisine has a skinny pancake to offer. No matter where you hail from, crepes and their cousins are  fun, versatile, and best of all you can make them ahead and freeze them for quick, elegant meals. On the menu:

Ham & Cheese Palacsintas a la The Magic Pan
South Indian Dosa with Spicy Lentils
Cheese Blintzes
Chocolate Souffle Crepes

Oh, the marriage of wine and cheese – long may it endure! A cheese course is the perfect ending to a great meal; some people prefer it to the standard sweet. But there are those who tear up if there’s no ice cream or whatever to end the evening. Here we combine both on one plate. And enjoy them with wine recommendations from our friendly sommelier from Julio’s Liquors.

Carrot Cake with Goat Cheese Frosting
Gorgonzola Cheesecake with Walnut Crust & Rhubarb Compote
Tuile with Ricotta Ice Cream, Chocolate, and Pistachio Brittle

Bring your parent to cooking class and make some comfort food! We love to eat things like Easy Flatbreads with assorted fresh toppings, Chicken Pot Pies with spring vegetables, and Lori’s Special Ramen. And what is class without our Ranger Cookies? Everything is fun and delicious – and free of gluten!

Note: The tuition price is for one adult and one child.

Small and Sour!

This is a great time of year to begin a sourdough starter – the weather’s warm enough to get it goin’! We’ll show you how to make your starter (which you can take home with you), the care and feeding of it, and how to troubleshoot reluctant starters. Then we’ll use our own sourdough starter to make some small breads.  We’re thinking about:

Sourdough Onion Rolls
Sourdough Waffles
Sourdough English Muffins
