- COOKING CLASSES -May 10, 2008:A month of renewal and rebirth, this is the time to freshen up your cooking repertoire with some tips. The Greek goddess Maia for whom the month is named was the eldest and most beautiful of the seven Pleiades, aptly so as May is often the most pleasant month of the year. May is a time for celebration, and we invite you to celebrate with Chef Gray as he tempts your palate with some of spring’s tastiest treats. Ravioli of Sweet Peas and Minted Goat Cheese Basil Crusted Breast of Chicken with Artichoke Ragout Rhubarb and Strawberry Crisp with Vanilla Bean Balsamic Ice Cream June 21, 2008:The Thrill of the Grill, Solstice StyleAs the summer solstice approaches, June is the time to be outside and by the grill. The two abundant flowers of the season, roses and honeysuckles, tease the meatier barbeque trends with a sweeter flair that will entice and satiate on even the hottest and longest summer days. Grilled Local Asparagus with Virginia Ham and Parmesan Barbequed Wild Yukon Salmon with Sweet Corn and Backyard Basil Grilled Sweet Peaches with Lavender Honey Ice Cream July 12, 2008:Chillaxin’ in July:Named after the mighty Julius Caesar, July is the perfect month to celebrate your own victories, grown in your own backyard! Join Chef Gray as he shows you how to work with the abundance of summer herbs. The Polish name for July, Lipiec, comes from lipa, meaning lime tree, so hopefully we can find a way to work in some of the fruits of July’s namesake. Tomato and Watermelon Gazpacho with Lime-Cucumber Ice Todd’s Signature Lump Crab Cakes with Arugula and Sweet Peppers Champagne-Melon Salad with Smoked Salt and Honeysuckle Flowers August 9, 2008:A Farmer’s Market CelebrationAugust, named for the successes of Roman Emperor Augustus, is the month to celebrate local successes as well.
