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’m very impressed by all the elements you are able to pack into the lesson without it seeming at all overwhelming: the review, the actual cooking skills, the creativity of coming up with their own dishes, the chance to present their creations, the opportunity to learn about and share thoughts on something else (in last week’s case, the feelings represented in the book), the execution of their  jobs, the responsibility for one’s station/implements and the overall following of directions…..all without losing the fun quotient. No wonder the kids love coming!  You’ve really created something special so kudos to you!
