Maybe you’ve never made soba before. Maybe you’ve made soba a couple times and you’re eager to practice the craft. Either way, this class will give you tools and guidance to get to the next level of your soba-making. We will wrap the class up with ideas on how to serve soba and best of all we will taste and eat our creation for a light lunch with soba and Sequatchie Cove Farm produce.

Okonomiyaki Class

Date: Nov 7, 2021

COST: $75 TIME: 9:30am -to- 12pm cst

Ingredients - Anson Mills Buckwheat flour and Sequatchie Cove Farm produce

Okonomiyaki is a delicious and savory pancake packed with veggies and/or meats, with a rich history, and a wide variety of preferred preparations across Japan. Okonomi translated directly to “as you like it” in Japanese, and this couldn’t be more accurate. It is amazingly versatile; ultimate street or pub food and fits onto a restaurant menu. In this class we will go over various traditions of preparation and then work hands-on together. We'll also make a number of the fixings, including the famed umami rich tonkatsu sauce that pairs so well with the pancake. We will finish up the class by tasting our creations.
