From Trash to Table with Cortney & Dave
 
Have you ever thrown away food and wished that you could re-purpose it or make something delicious with it?  There is a way!  This year at Gather we’ve made a dedication to reduce our food waste and become more conscious about how we use ALL of our food.  In our new From Trash To Table Series we’ll be bringing you a new topic each month.  And since we’ll be using food scraps, it reduces our food cost…which means that we can donate it back into the community!  All of the profits from our From Trash To Table Series will be donated to Food To Power.  Food To Power has redistributed over $6 million of healthy groceries since 2013 in the Colorado Springs region. Using a "direct redistribution" model, Food to Power transports surplus healthy foods from local supermarkets, backyard gardens and cafeterias to 20+ non-profit and community-based grocery programs.
 
Our first month will focus on making stocks, soup starters and sauces.  Do you already save your veggie trimmings and chicken carcasses for stock?  Fantastic! You don’t?! This is a great class to learn how.  Have you ever thought about how to group different flavors and trimmings together to make a starter for a flavorful soup? In this class Cortney will inspire you with suggestions and show you how to do it!  We’ll also learn how to use these less “a-peeling” scraps into sauce where they are pureed or blending, disappearing into a delicious dish. Each person will leave with their very own stock or soup base to use at home.  Cortney will provide a soup to inspire our soup starters and we’ll pair up some yummies to eat with our sauces.
