Cooking from the Summer Garden
with Deborah Madison and Koyo Welch-roshiSeptember 28-30, 2012
|
Hello,
Come and enjoy a weekend of vegetarian cooking with Deborah Madison, the founding chef of Greens restaurant. The menu will be based on what is in the CMZC garden, Deborah's garden, and what is in the market at that time.
In this small class of eight participants we'll cook together in the Zen Center kitchen and explore what amazing goodness vegetables and other plant foods have to offer. Koyo Welch-roshi, the Abbot of CMZC, who has worked as a cook at Greens and other restaurants, will assist with the class.
... grew up in a California walnut orchard. Farms and food were in her sights from the start. She first put that awareness into motion at the San Francisco Zen Center, where she was a student for eighteen years and held a host of kitchen positions: head cook, guest cook, private cook for the abbott and his guests. Deborah studied under Alice Waters at Chez Panisse and then went on to become the founding chef of Greens restaurant, one of the early Bay Area restaurants to have a farm-driven menu. Since her years at Greens, Deborah has been known as a cook, writer and cooking teacher specializing in seasonal, vegetarian recipes with strong emphasis on farmers markets produce and heritage fruit and vegetable varieties. |

Best regards, Christian Dillo Director |
