March 25, 2026: Raised breads, or how I learned the value of patience and trusting the process

Dough that has not fully proofed will never turn out to be the bread you are trying to make. It will not magically fix itself while baking in the oven if it was only proofed halfway. After  several disappointing attempts at making bread, I learned that I needed to allow enough time and not be impatient with the process. Learn how to make pita, a raised flatbread, and participate in a discussion about how we can be more patient with ourselves and how to trust the process of our healing journeys. 

April 22, 2026: ‘The Chives Are Up’ – a lesson in resilience and hope

When the chives start coming up, it signals two important things: that we have survived the winter, and that spring is indeed coming. Chives are one of my favorite ingredients because they are incredibly hearty and resilient, a perennial that keeps coming back and growing all season long. Chives symbolize hope, and that the best is yet to come. Learn how to celebrate the arrival of spring and the delicate onion flavor that adds something really beautiful to a dish and join a discussion on the importance of choosing hope to our survival.

May 27, 2026: Rhubarb, or a lesson in Radical Acceptance (and transforming your reality into something beautiful) 

Rhubarb is intensely sour, crunchy and stringy, with poisonous leaves. It comes so early in the season that there is no other fruit yet to temper its tartness. And yet, its stunning bright red stalk brings the first splash of color to the kitchen garden. First, we radically accept rhubarb for what it is. Then, we learn how to process it and work with it to create a delicious rhubarb crisp, and we begin to see rhubarb with different eyes. Enjoy the delightfully tart rhubarb as we discuss Radical Acceptance, and how by meeting ourselves where we are we can begin to see life a little differently.
