Green Tea for Life
The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. Today, scientific research in both Asia and the West is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with green tea, with studies showing that it inhibits the growth of cancer cells, lowers cholesterol levels, prevents tooth decay, and helps people burn more calories. But all green teas are not created equal. In this class, you'll discover the difference among Chinese green, Japanese green, and flavored green teas, as well as the difference among low-, middle-, and high-quality Japanese and Chinese tea. Learn how to properly steep green teas as we taste, taste, and taste some more. Class meets at The Tea Grotto, 2030 S 900 E, SLC. Tuition $37.00

Artisan Bread Making
Inspire your senses with the aroma, taste, and texture of freshly baked whole-grain artisan breads. But beware! Store-bought bread will never satisfy you again. We will make three European breads: a Kalmata olive boule crafted from a fermented sponge; a French epi with a seeded crust fashioned into a sheaf of wheat, in which individual pieces can be easily torn off; and currant orange rolls with a hint of anise shaped into elegant scrolls. We will cover a foolproof, step-by-step process, from the grinding of whole grains and fermentation to the shaping and baking of the dough. We will mix and knead using a bread machine as well as a stand mixer and bake using steam for a crisp crust. We'll demonstrate a variety of practices for both lean and enriched dough and discuss variations for each recipe so you can craft your own signature loaf. They are so easy, you'll find yourself making fresh bread regularly! We'll sample all we make; arrive hungry. Class meets at 8805 Blue Jay Lane, Sandy, UT (private residence). Tuition $74.00
