Simply Summer: Tomatoes and Friends

Late Summer, a time for unctuous ripe tomatoes, spicy and crisp peppers, glistening eggplants, sweet juicy corn, fresh basil and so much more. What better way to savor the Summer than to showcase these gorgeous vegetables in a full out feast! Students will make rough puff pastry to bake with heirloom and cherry tomatoes, gruyere, baby leeks topped with a fresh mortar and pestle pesto. You will blister a myriad of very special peppers, make a smokey, tangy eggplant puree, learn how to perfectly sear eggplant and create a show stopping salad that screams, "Summer!!", from the top of its lungs.
