This class has been postponed due to illness. Registrants will be notified by phone regarding new class date.

Wishing for a moment of brightness this winter? Capture the bright flavors of citrus in this Winter Preserves workshop. Culinary Fellow Michelle Fuerst demonstrates the lost art of home preserving, including North African preserved lemons, traditional citrus marmalades, and lemon curd. Participants will leave with a small jar of preserves and the know-how to can at home.

About the instructor:
At age 15 - as one of California's last soda jerks - Fuerst began her career in food. Cooking in various Bay Area restaurants she ultimately landed at Zuni Cafe and Chez Panisse, both pioneers of the local and sustainable food movement. Most importantly, her experiences have taught her where good ingredients come from, the integrity of a simple meal and the larger impact this awareness has on the world. This past summer, Fuerst collaborated with Anya Fernald on canning workshops for the successful Yes We Can project in San Francisco, which helped inspire home canners across the sountry. Fuerst's forays into writing can be found in the Slow Food Guide to San Francisco and the civil eats blog.
