About

Week 1: Processing Pumpkins from Purée to Pepitas
By processing the whole pumpkin, you can truly understand and appreciate the potential of this gourd. The many tasty projects (soups, breads, butters, and more!) that this popular fall symbol presents will keep us busy! You can expect to learn knife skills, bake some delicious treats, and understand how to properly preserve and use a pumpkin with clever zero-waste hacks.

Week 2: Fall Apples!

Apples in Washington State are a celebrated part of the fall harvest. The variety of apples also means a lot of culinary territory to explore. You will learn to tell the differences between many types of apples and what you can make with them using simple processes like stewing or baking. You will make delicious apple treats like apple sauce, apple cake, or simple baked apples.

Week 3: Hidden Squash Dinner Plan

More seasonal gourds! You will make a naturally sweet autumn soup, elevated by warm spices and cream. You'll also whip up a quick and easy baked goodie to tie the whole thing together. You will learn culinary techniques and sauce and emulsify your way through the creation of a light vegetarian soup.
