Provence in California
Yolo Slow Food leader, notable author and educator Georgeanne Brennan is suspending her cooking classes in Provence this summer and instead will be offering a series of ”Provence in California” culinary weekends at her farm starting in August.
Brennan’s farm boasts a huge seasonal potager garden with more than 100 fruit trees, a grape arbor and a field with more than 1,000 tomato plants for participants to utilize for the cooking classes. Her husband makes wine and grappa for guests to sample while enjoying the view of neighboring walnut and almond farms.
The classes will take place in Brennan’s kitchen, surrounded by Meyer lemon trees, and some of the classes will be conducted with her outdoor wood-fired oven with participants making flatbreads, roasting meats, vegetables and fruits. All classes will be followed by apéritif and a long leisurely lunch under the farm’s 100-year old black walnut tree — the essence of Slow Food!
