Woodfired Delights Sunday 18th March

admin — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:41:08 +0000

Jens has been at the pizza paddle since Taste’s inception in 2005. Jens dishes up, I dare say, one of the best wood fired pizzas in Queensland. Prior to setting up Taste in our previous location, Jens was involved with the installation of wood fired ovens. He has an implicit understanding, I think of its machinations. Join Jens on Sunday for an hour or two as he explains the basics on how the oven cooks, temperature, troubleshoots any problems you might be having, gives you his dough secrets and finally he and you can try your hand at in our traditional wood fired oven and then taste! Class is SUNDAY FEBRUARY 19th and starts at 12 pm and runs for nearly 2 hours. Cost $79 per person and includes tastings.

“I wanted to let you know I thought your class was wonderfully packed full of information, and the pickles are delicious.”

“I would love to attend the Tofu and Tempeh class in February. I’ve been following your blog from London and am so pleased that now that I am in Brisbane there is a class that I can attend.”

Learning from the Soy Bean Masters: tofu and tempeh dishes from Indonesian, Japan and the Sichuan Provence

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 01:00:02 +0000

The first step in becoming a soy bean lover is to avoid all recipes that use them as substitutes for meat. Tofu lasagne, tempeh casserole and tofu smoothies send prospective-soy-loving-omnivores running for their meaty shelters. The second step is to turn to the masters. Indonesian, Japanese and Sichuanese cooks have been using soy bean based ingredients for centuries, celebrating their unique qualities rather than making them apologies for meat. In this class – the first in a series I’ll offer in 2012 celebrating authentic vegetarian dishes – we’ll make a tofu from scratch (a tofu that will blow all other beancurds out of their slightly rancid water baths!); we’ll experiment with the fermented delights of tempeh; and we’ll use both in a series of dishes from the soy bean masters. What we’ll cook: tempe bacem (twice cooked tempeh); rendang tempe (tempeh cooked using the rendang method); agedashi-dofu (deep fried tofu); moyashi to usu age no gomamiso-ae (tofu with bean shoots); dou hua mian (spicy noodles with flower tofu).
Class Date: Saturday, 4th February, 2 1/2 hours, noon until 2:30pm
Place: Taste, for the love of cooking, 6 James Street, Fortitude Valley
To Book: Phone Taste on (07) 3252 1022
Class Cost: $115
