Cook your way around the world

From M, spring 2007

Get your taste buds fired up for the 2007 Heartland Cooking Series and treat yourself to the comforting flavors of the upper Midwest and of foods from across the globe.

Chefs Jenny Breen, Beth Dooley, Amalia Damgaard, and Raghavan Iyer toss a dash of cultural insight into their pot of cooking know-how at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Each second and fourth Thursday evening of the month, the demonstration-style classes will offer wine tasting and exceptional recipes.

Dabble in the delectable tastes and cooking techniques of such dishes as spicy Spring Cod Caramba, Classic Winter Squash Soup With Coconut Milk and Hearty Greens, Dulce de Papaya Parfaits, and Roasted Beet and Arugula Salad.

The laid-back setting provides an opportunity for both relaxation and discovery.
