Jul 18th "That's Just Peachy!" Cooking Class with La Finca!
Peach Preserves Class at Private Home featuring Opera Steamboat
Thursday, July 18, 2024
5:30pm-7:30pm
LOCATION: A Private Home (Address will be shared with attendees)
Learn how to make America Marshall's very special peach preserves and enjoy a sneak peek of Welcome to the Madness featuring one of Opera Steamboat's Emerging Artists performing a selection from the show.
Join Alyson Citarelli, founder and owner of La Finca Kitchen, in her home for a cooking class on making peach preserves. You will be helping to prepare the preserves that will be featured in the performances of Welcome to the Madness in August.
"La Finca means small farm in Spanish. We chose the name because of my passion for growing organic vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers.
Our growing season here in Steamboat Springs is short, so preserving produce is a focus! Our gardens are slowly expanding, and our greenhouse is small but efficient. And most importantly, our home is full of visiting children, grandchildren, and friends! We are so appreciative of the Colorado blue skies in summer and a cozy hearth fire in winter - both provide a wonderful place to entertain, cook and care for the people we love!"
This class is $50 which covers the costs of the peaches and other materials!
Address for private home will be shared with participants.
Contest Deadline is May 25
