  Discover the soul of Brazil as we prepare Moqueca, one of the most traditional dishes in the county. This flavorful Brazilian fish stew is rooted in the influences not only of the Indigenous, Portuguese, African people that make up the rich and lively culture of Brazil but also Sandra’s childhood.  Made with fish, shrimp, coconut milk, tomatoes, onions, garlic, fresh cilantro, dende (palm oil), and spices, served with rice the Brazilian way, and Farofa, Moqueca is the perfect opportunity to expose your pallet to this rich, and fascinating culture. The class will begin with a brief introduction to the “real food of Brazil” then dive into our preparations.  

  

  When the cooking is complete, we will sit together, Brazilian style, to share our cooking experiences, learn more about the culture of Brazil...and yes, enjoy the food.  It is sure to be an enriching, and delectable evening.

  Note: Sandra also will be sharing a Brazilian cocktail and a little amuse bouche.  For those that do not eat fish or seafood, a vegetarian version made with plantain will be offered.

  Instructor Bio:
  

  Chef Sandra Rocha Evanoff. Born in the Bahia region of northern Brazil, I was introduced to the kitchen at a young age while assisting my mother in her small bed and breakfast. I also learned about fresh foods from my father who operated a fresh fruit market. Here began my exposure to healthy eating as we prepared food we grew ourselves. Later, when I began my university studies, I started a small business called "Feijoada to Go”, preparing the most traditional dish of Brazilians.  This endeavor enhanced my culinary skills further while earning money to finance my studies. I graduated in International Relations in Sao Paulo, but food is my passion, my real carnival.   Eventually, relocating to the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I relish the opportunity to share the the “true” ways and tastes of Brazil with others.

  A well-made Bolognese is hard to turn away from and there are many approaches and techniques focused on making the very best. In this class, we’ll explore two tried and true ways, one rooted in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy with a great backstory, the other a more ‘modern’ endeavor... geared toward preparing a faster weeknight meal yet retaining a strong sense of Italy. We’ll make both, eat both and compare their complexities and commonalities, pluses, and minuses. 

  The more traditional Bolognese typically takes 3 or more hours to prepare and cook. We’ll have that well underway when you arrive and together, we’ll do the final touches to complete the cooking.  The other more contemporary and faster recipe we’ll prepare together from start to finish and using a popular locally made island pasta, enjoy their unique yet slightly different flavors. Along with the recipes, you’ll have enough to take home to share for another meal.  

  Come prepared to make and eat some good food, talk Italian cuisine and culture and dive into a fun and rewarding culinary adventure including a local red wine that highly compliments the journey.

  Making plump chewy bagels at home is not only possible, but they can also be so much more flavorful and scrumptious. In this class, you will learn the tricks to making dense chewy bagels, and we will make 2 different savory toppings while the dough proofs. We will pair with a salsa verde and ricotta schmear and a smoked salmon mousse. 

  Please make sure to wear close-toed shoes, tie your hair back, and bring something to take home your hot bagels. A wide paper bag or open box works well. We will also have a break during baking time. If you have not seen the rest of BARN, we can take you on a tour.
