This class is a return to the popular series Camila taught back in 2018. Cookbooks are still one of the physical books with highest sales, and many of us love them! This is a sort of virtual cookbook club, in which we gather online to cook together from favorite and new cookbooks. Perhaps there were recipes you marked a long time ago but never got around to making, maybe because the recipes felt daunting or because you read cookbooks as if they were novels (rather than cook from them). We encourage you to crack open those cookbooks and cook with us!
Cooking as a group will create community around these books we love! And you will get the opportunity to learn tips and tricks for substitutions (in this case, Ottolenghi loves long ingredient lists!) or gain familiarity with new ingredients. Flavor is his most recent book (though a new one is due out this October and we might reference that one as well). Camila will offer tips on how to make some the recipes vegan or gluten free. We have selected recipes based on a variety of techniques, as well as seasonal ingredients (and Camila´s whim). Because we can only cook a selected, limited amount of recipes in one session, we will make sure to leave some time for talking about the book, in true book club fashion. Can't wait!
*Please note that it is not required to own the cookbook in order to participate in this class. We will provide a copy of the recipes Camila has chosen and we hope that you are able to support local booksellers and libraries in your area for further reading.
