The Delightful Table

It’s hot out there today but this Peach and Hatch Chili sorbet with fresh local fruit is keeping me cool!!! The recipe is super easy to make and doesn’t require churning: 2 lbs of fruit (I used fresh peaches from @ricksproduce and a roasted Hatch Chile from @melissasproduce for extra summer kick!), 1/2 lb of sugar (helps to use a kitchen scale), 1 tbs of lemon or lime juice (I used lime), a pinch of salt. Blend it all up super smooth in a blender for a couple minutes, pour... into a freezer safe container, put a lid on it, and leave it to freeze for 7-8 hours! Serve with your fave seasonal fruit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #vegetarian #vegan #csa #eatyourveggies #veggies #eatlocal #eattheseasons #farmtotable #knowyourfarmer #losangeles #homemade #homecookedmeal #homecooking #homecook #sarvodayafarms #cookingclass #cookingclasses #learntocook #feedyourself #feedyoursoul #foodandwine #eattherainbow #thenewhealthy #bareaders #sorbet #hatchathome #hatchchile #cooltreats See more

It’s #hatchchile season!!! I was out of town for six weeks to clear my head and figure out what the future holds for Delightful Table. I’m planning on making some announcements soon so stay tuned!! In the meantime, I came back just in time for the annual Hatch Chile roasting that happens every year and that I now can’t live without. Check the stories to follow along and see what I’m doing with all my @melissasproduce Hatch Chilis .

Delightful Table has teamed up with @LifeKitLA to provide food for our community! 1 in 5 people in LA County don't know where there next meal is coming from and that was BEFORE the pandemic. Food insecurity has increased sharply and since we aren't able to run classes due to the pandemic, we are using the Delightful Table location to do what we can to meet this need. Our food pantry features donated, shelf stable food set up "bodega style" so that our clients can "shop" ...as if they were in a store. Delightful Table is also putting together recipes using the pantry ingredients to take some of the guesswork out of how to prepare meals with the ingredients available. If you'd like to get involved we are looking for volunteers and contributions!! Your contribution, whether through your time, energy or money, will help keep our pantry supply stocked so we can provide food to as many people as we can.

The knife is the most important tool in the kitchen. In our cooking classes the first thing we do is go over knife skills so that everyone has a baseline of this fundamental knowledge and skill to build upon in the class. It's THAT important y'all!! I created a video that goes over these skills so you can practice your technique at home!

A lot of us are starting to realize the importance of a stocked pantry now that we are relying so heavily on them. I'm lucky that I took up canning a couple years ago and also love to collect grains and beans so I have a very stocked pantry (to be honest I have a lot of kitchen space dedicated to "pantry" ). A lot of people ask me how to organize their pantry and what to buy and I can tell you, long story short, buy what you will use. That's the point after all isn't it...?? The perfect pantry collection is very individual so make it your own and don't worry too much about getting it "right". But if you want some tips for cleaning out your pantry and getting it nice and organized, I can help with that I wrote a guide on how to Konmari your pantry that walks you through the steps and I've also linked some pantry friendly recipes! https://thedelightfultable.com//how-to-konmari-your-pantry/ #plantbased #healthy #organic #vegetarian #veganfoodshare #veganfood #nutrition #covid19 #quarantinemeals #quarantinekitchen #eatyourveggies #eattherainbow #zerowaste #knowyourfarmer # #food #vegan #cooking #homemade #recipes #bareaders #feedfeed #pantry #konmari See more

This is a very good time to be making and enjoying a delicious bowl of homemade broth! In my classes I show students how to use the scraps of veggies that they are using to cook to make a delicious broth or stock that is full of flavor, nutrients, vitamins and minerals. If the recipe I wrote out doesn't explain it well enough, I even made a video to go with it!!! https://thedelightfultable.com/re/veggie-stock-from-scraps/ for the recipe and video that explains how to m...ake your own! And here are a few more ideas for what you can do with your broth besides make soup with it.... You can use your broth to cook your grains. Rice, quinoa, polenta/grits, farro, millet, and many other grains are great cooked in water but they are even better cooked in a delicious stock or broth. They absorb all the delicious flavors of the broth and go from ho-hum to dyno-MITE!!! You can use your broth to make sauces and gravies. Use it to deglaze the pan after you've sauted your garlic and onions for a pan sauce. Add it to a roux to make a nice gravy. Add it to the blender with some aromatic veggies and spices to make a sauce. There are so many possibilities here!! Use it as your braising liquid or as the liquid to thin a puree. You can always use water in these situations but a flavorful broth will add depth to your braises and purees. What do you use your broth for??? Are there any special ingredients you always put in your broth/stock? #plantbased #healthy #organic #vegetarian #veganfoodshare #veganfood #nutrition #covid19 #quarantinemeals #quarantinekitchen #eatyourveggies #eattherainbow #zerowaste #knowyourfarmer # #food #vegan #cooking #homemade #recipes #soup #stock #broth See more
