The air is cool and crisp after the official onset of fall. This dish mirrors fall’s splendor in its color, its depth and in its wealth of nutrients.

When onion begins to sweat (after about 3 minutes), add the pinch of sea salt. Add the broccoli to the pan next, sautéing it with the red onion.

When all sides of the broccoli pieces have made contact with the pan and it turns a brighter shade of green (this should take about 2 minutes), add the red cabbage.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I loved Ms. Nancy’s cooking class so much.! I have been in this cooking class for two years and I would love to sign up for another one. I tried a lot of new foods like winter squash, cardamom, Brussels sprouts and kale. My favorite salad was the kiwi, carrot, radish salad.
Not only did we cook and eat, we also did labs about food. We used rulers to measure the size of plants. We also explored stone fruits and their ripe season. Now in my house we have window boxes and I am growing cherry tomatoes and basil.
I learned that we can use a lot of different tools to cook, not just our hands and senses. We used safety knives, potato peelers and a carrot sharpener (I wonder if you could sharpen a pencil with it?) !!!
Because of this class I can help papi make dinner and I will try any new food at least once to see if I like it. Thank you, Ms. Nancy for making cooking fun and interesting and helping me be excited about food.

- Love, K (a 7-year-old boy).
