June 10, 2017 – Dine & Learn: Sprouting 101 and Food & Drink Magic with High-Speed Blenders!
NOTE: Tickets for this event are being sold via multiple platforms: as of June 8, three tickets have been sold. Eight attendee maximum in total.
I will be hosting a demonstration of how to make healthy drinks, soups, sorbets using a high-speed blender, and how to grow sprouts in your own home. This event will be held at OK Café in Astoria, my absolute favorite coffeeshop in the neighborhood, and who was kind enough to offer their charming café as venue.
Using a high-speed blender, I will show how easy it is to make soups and sorbets (not to mention nut milks, peanut butter and more!).
I will also demonstrate how effortless and rewarding it is to grow sprouts in your home. Sprouts are full of essential nutrients, and help make salads and sandwiches that much more delicious!
- Welcome Drink: a mixed fruit/vegetable drink (vegan)
- Salad: Salad Nicoise, with some sprouts also added. Salad Nicoise traditionally contains hard-boiled egg and Italian tuna, but these components will be kept to the side in case any attendees are vegan/vegetarian.
- Soup: Garden Pea Soup (vegan)
- Dessert: Strawberry Lime Sorbet (vegan)
Cost per person: $25 (includes all food/drink mentioned above)
Coffee, tea, wine and beer will be available for individual purchase onsite.
Maximum # of attendees: 8
Otherwise please click here for tickets via Eventbrite!
And…. thank you in advance for your interest!

(Date TBD) Italian Dinner with ‘Nana’s Homemade Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs’
You may be thinking, ‘where does this Irish/French-Canadian woman get off thinking she can compete with real Italians and their cooked-all-day-on-Sunday spaghetti sauces?!’ Well I may not have any Italian blood in me, but you know who did?? …my grandmother’s boyfriend! Yup, that’s right… after my grandpa died, my grandmother found herself an Italian boyfriend, and that’s where this recipe originated from.
The meatballs are made with a mix of ground veal and beef. As for the spaghetti sauce, well it’s a rich meat sauce, but that’s all I can tell you. If I divulged any other details on the sauce, I’d have to kill you. 😉
Stay tuned!
