In this cooking class\, we will go old school and make a traditional French bisque of crab and shrimp\, garnished with herbs and croutons. Then we’ll jump ahead to more modern times and prepare a bisque of mushrooms and tomato. Finally\, an improvised soup based on seasonal vegetables that Chef Mike will prepare from scratch and without a recipe. \nRecipes contain: fish\, milk\, wheat\, and shellfish. \nDemonstration with limited hands-on opportunities. \nTips for class attendees: \n\nClose-toed shoes\, clothes that are not baggy or bulky\, and long hair that is restrained are always good choices in the kitchen.\nOut of consideration for other guests\, refrain from wearing colognes\, perfumes\, or anything else that may carry a strong odor. You will be in very close proximity to your fellow classmates.\nContact us to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding food allergies or restrictions well in advance of the day of class.\nOur classes have various levels of hands-on activity. Please refer to the specific class description.\nInstructors encourage guests to engage and ask questions; however\, please avoid holding side conversations that disrupt the class for others.\nArrive 5-10 minutes prior to the start of class to give yourself time to sign in and get settled before we begin.\nFeel free to contact us with any questions.\n\nClass Refund Policy: Unless otherwise stated in the event description\, registrations for events canceled by Willy Street Co-op will be fully refunded.

Salty and rich Bleu d’Auvergne\, redolent with the aroma of an old trunk from grandma’s attic. Foxglove from Tulip Tree Creamery is a favorite from our cheese man\, Dan\, described as creamy\, salty\, and earthy\, bearing an “orange-colored rind\, which is sticky and develops from a mixture of yeast\, salt\, and beer.” Finally\, it wouldn’t be a stanky cheese hangout if we didn’t invite the king: buttery rich and potentially off-puttingly pungent Limburger (only produced at one creamery in the US\, right here in Wisconsin\, of course). We’ll try all of these stinkers and more\, straight up and some paired with or part of a recipe like Foxglove in a warm spinach salad with toasted walnuts\, a bleu cheese sauce perfect with garlic toasts or over beef\, and limburger melted over braunschweiger on crusty bread with plenty of mustard and onion. Hold your nose if you must\, but do join Chef Mike and fearlessly face some funky fromage. \nRecipes contain: milk\, tree nuts\, wheat. \nDemonstration with limited hands-on opportunities. \nTips for class attendees: \n\nClose-toed shoes\, clothes that are not baggy or bulky\, and long hair that is restrained are always good choices in the kitchen.\nOut of consideration for other guests\, refrain from wearing colognes\, perfumes\, or anything else that may carry a strong odor.
