March’s Healthy and Local Cooking Class – Traditional Irish Soda Bread Anyone?

Is there a better bread in the world than a loaf of Irish soda bread, particularly as we get close to St. Patrick’s Day? Irish soda bread, made with white flour, is the cousin to Irish Brown, which was as common as a pint of Guinness or Smithwick’s Ale. Although today both are equally popular, brown bread was initially more common because white flour was more expensive.

Join us on Tuesday, March 7, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, when well-known local Chef Harold Qualters will demonstrate the proper way of making delicious Traditional Irish Soda Bread; just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

Class will take place at King Thiel Senior Community, 17 Elks Lane, with a $5 fee and will include a light lunch. Space is limited and prepayment for the class is required. To make a reservation, please call Diane at 518-459-2857 ext. 305.
