Snellville Farmers’ Market

date:Saturday, June 30, 2012 time:8:00 am to 12:00 pm

venue:City Hall of Snellville

address:2342 Oak Road Snellville, GA 30078

View map from:Snellville Farmers’ Market

The market features products that come from farms and gardens that, for the most part, are located within a 100-mile radius of Snellville. However, because the area around Snellville is so developed, in some cases we have had to reach out beyond 100 miles to bring certain products to the market.

A farmers’ market is also a fun place to shop. What a wonderful Saturday morning activity it is for a family to rise early and head to the market. Surprises always await…like the first tomatoes of the season, juicy Georgia peaches still warm from the sun, a variety of squash you’ve never tried, or the pumpkins that mark the fall season.

Lowcountry Favorites •• Demonstration Where, exactly, is Lowcountry? Think saltwater marshes and Spanish moss hanging from live oaks. The names of native Lowcountry dishes like Frogmore stew and hoppin’ John are almost as colorful as its culinary history. Rice, grits, local seafood, and the produce of the Southeastern coastal plain play an instrumental role in Lowcountry cooking. MENU: She-Crab Soup; Shrimp & Cheddar-Scallion Grit Cakes with Okra, Corn, & Tomatoes; and Carolina Gold Rice Pudding. $35

•• Hands-On Florence is among Italy’s most visited cities, thanks to the extent of its cultural treasures. The tasty dishes found on local tables are no exception and represent wonders of simplicity and flavors. Even classical French cuisine, which is widely admired, for the most part has its origins in Firenze, transported by the chefs who followed the French court of Caterina de’Medici in the 1500s. Tonight, we’ll explore the enchanting cuisine of this historic city as we learn some of its most popular dishes. Wine from the region will be served. MENU: Prosciutto & Salami with Melon; Tuscan Panzanella with Heirloom Tomatoes; Tagliata (Sliced Rare Grass-Fed Beef Served on Arugula with Parmesan & Local Olive Oil); Fresh Tagliatelle with Duck Ragù; Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine-Style T-Bone Steak); Fried Zucchini & Squash with Lemon & Parsley; and Torta di Ricotta (Sweet Ricotta Tart).

address:5945 State Bridge Road, Alpharetta, GA 30005

View map Splendors of Piedmont •• Demonstration Serious wine lovers are instantly aroused by the name Nebbiolo, the grape that produces the famous Barolos and Barbarescos of Italy’s Piedmont region. Nebbiolo is part of the distinguished trinity of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sirah that produces the most elegant, complex, and long-lasting reds of the world. This course will introduce students to the region, which has been called the Bordeaux of Italy, and explain why it holds its eminent position among the fabled wine zones of the world. But this survey extends far beyond the glories of Barolo and Barnaresco, for the region itself is the home of an incredible number of varietals, such as Cortese, Moscato Asti, Barbara, Brachetto, Dolcetto, and Friesa. Each of these grapes is a story in itself, which you will discover over the course of the evening. $44
