About This Activity

Description

The UW Health Learning Kitchen at East Madison Hospital in Madison, WI has cooking classes for all skill levels!
Cooking class details:
Love butternut and acorn squash, but find them difficult or intimidating to prepare? Join us for this hands-on cooking class where we will prepare two simple recipes using winter squash favorites. We will also talk about tips and tricks for working with winter squash, including the best ways to get past those firm outer rinds.

What We'll Be Cooking:
  • Creamy Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup: Learn tips for peeling a butternut squash while preparing this cozy, flavorful fall soup.
  • Roasted Acorn Squash Tacos: No squash rind peeling required for this recipe! Learn how to roast squash rings with the rind on for easy removal post-cooking. You will then pair your roasted squash with black beans and corn for this three-sisters-inspired taco dish.

Each participant must be enrolled for the class ($8 is the cost for one participant). If you are registering multiple people, please include the names and ages of all attendees in your group.
Register by Thursday, October 22nd.
