How did we get this deep into August already? Is September really so close? In honor of the back to school mode, I've got a little pop quiz for you on noodles. (Don't worry, it's open book!) For those of you with iPhones, I found the new Asian Ingredients 101 app a neat little tool that will clear up many of your shopping queries. And don't let the summer get away from you without savoring all the fruits and vegetables in their prime at our farmers markets right now. There's no better place to enjoy this bounty than at this Sunday's Incredible Feast, Seattle's biggest food event highlighting our amazing chefs and hardworking farmers. 

In case you missed the announcement, NuCulinary's regular weekly classes are coming to a close at the end of September when they take a hiatus for a little revamping and retooling. I've packed September full of my most requested classes, giving you one last chance to take the sushi, noodles, grilling, or dim sum class you've always wanted to do.

But don't forget that NuCulinary isn't disappearing, there are many ways for you be involved with us besides our classes. We are still offering private lessons and cooking parties, wellness events, chef demos, and team-building. I'm also looking at having some special classes, covering a specific technique or cuisine, featuring a fantastic chef, or a possibly a masterclass or two. You'll want to stay in touch so you can be in the know! Keep your eyes out for this newsletter or follow me on twitter. Do you have an idea for a class you'd like me to offer or a subject you'd like to see explored in depth? Let me know!
