Peas! The sweet little green delights of springtime! This class is all about the verdant harbinger of warm days ahead. Chef Gracie has many childhood memories of sitting in front of the TV, watching Giant's games and shucking peas with her dad and she wants to share this simple, satisfying activity with you! We'll be working together to shuck, cook and devour an array of leguminous delicacies. Favas, english peas and snap peas will be showcased and students will leave with an even greater love and appreciation for these superb ingredients!

In her career, Gracie has worked in a variety of places: as a baker and private chef in Eugene, OR, farming and cooking in Italy, raising pigs in the Sierra Foothills, butchering at the Fatted Calf in San Francisco, managing Avedano’s in Bernal Heights, cooking at Bay Area restaurants Molina and Cala and her own pop-up restaurant, Bread and Bones Supper.
