We get so excited about tomato season at Food Dance that we’re celebrating by having a five course tomato dinner. Seems a bit over the top? Not when you consider the beauty, flavors and versatility of the thousands of varieties of tomatoes. We promise, you will never think of them as just plain sliced fruit again.

Come slow down, celebrate the season’s harvest and share a meal with your community.

This series of classes is for cooks who want to learn the basics of creating and developing food with flavor. You’ll learn the five elements of taste perception; sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami (savory) and how to complement, elevate and contrast with all of these tastes. You’ll also learn how various cooking techniques affect flavor. A copy of the Flavor Bible Book is included.
The cooking series will not cover kitchen basics and is not intended for novice cooks but for people who enjoy cooking and want to go beyond recipes. You’ll experience hands-on lessons from Executive Chef Robb Hammond and special guest chefs in the Food Dance kitchen.
Second class in the series will take place on October 17 at 5:00 pm.
