SUMMARY:18 Reasons: The Confident Cook: Desserts - In Person
DESCRIPTION:Price:\n$155.00\nMember Price:\n$145.00 \nA hands-on in-person cooking class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer. This class is limited to 12 students. Review our registration and cancellation policies here. Masks are recommended. \nTake your culinary skills to the next level with our new fundamentals series\, The Confident Cook. It’s a Pick-Your-Own-Adventure\, where you decide which classes are most beneficial to you as a home cook. We guarantee that taking at least six classes will build your kitchen skills\, broaden your repertoire\, and give you the confidence to tackle any 18 Reasons class on the calendar.  That’s why we’re offering you a deal – add six or more Confident Cook classes to your cart to take 15% off your total order! Cook along with Chef Mike and add a swagger to your seasoning\, a cool hand to your chef’s knife\, and a flair to your plated presentations.  \nThe Confident Cook: Desserts teaches you how to wrap up your home-cooked meals with everyone’s favorite course. Because we know there are never enough sweets\, we will craft three different dishes in this class! \nTo get started we will whip up a gluten-free and seasonal Blood Orange Meringue Pie.  Talk about a show-stopper: it will begin with the simplicity of a press-n pistachio crust.  Then on to making a citrus curd\, as we thicken and sweeten crimson blood orange juice into our filling.  Topped with the science-heavy light as air clouds of an Italian meringue\, and grab your spoons in one hand and your phone in the other for this dessert. \nThen onto cookies\, with everyone’s favorite dunker biscotti.  Want to learn to bake? What could be better than something called “twice-baked”? Measuring\, scaling\, and other precision excursions into the world of pastry\, plus the use of a savory herb just to ground Chef Mike in this world of sugar. \nFinally\, we will wrap up this dessert tour with the childhood favorite chocolate pudding\, all grown up and fancy.  We will learn the basics of thickening (as if three desserts weren’t thickening enough!) with cornstarch and eggs\, and talk about chocolate as we use it in three forms for this dessert.  Just to make it interesting we will add in a touch of chocolate’s ancient partner chile to make this a more grown up option.  The class will also include a hearty salad and an array of cheeses and snacks\, as we know we cannot live on sweets alone. \nMENU \nBlood Orange Meringue Pie with Pistachio Crust  \nRosemary\, Almond\, Orange Biscotti \nGrown up Chocolate Pudding \nThis menu contains the following common allergens: egg\, wheat\, dairy\, tree nuts. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions that concern your ability to cook along\, please e-mail info@18reasons.org before purchasing a ticket. \nLet’s Cook Together!  \nBorn in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco\, Mike Weller grew up in the suburbs of San Jose\, where he discovered cooking as his first profession and lifetime passion. After wandering through typical teenage jobs at pizza joints and ice cream parlors\, Mike’s first “restaurant” job was with Sambo’s Coffee Shops\, slinging hash and cooking eggs for the bar rush and Sunday breakfast crowds.  He moved on to help open several restaurants\, attend the California Culinary Academy\, and study under European chefs with Michelin backgrounds. Later\, Mike served as an executive chef for catering companies\, wineries and country clubs.

SUMMARY:Z Space: Word for Word present: Home by George Saunders
DESCRIPTION:April 5-29 at Z Below \nThe story of Mikey\, a war veteran returning to a home that is increasingly cruel and absurd—and his quest for understanding and compassion. George Saunders’ subtle yet absurdist humor brings a unique slant to otherwise dark topics. \nOf “Home”\, George Saunders says\, “If you send four hundred thousand people into a shitstorm\, don’t expect everybody to come back smelling like roses. Some of them are going to come back damaged. To show ourselves to be an honorable culture\, we have to step up and deal with them with all the generosity and love we can summon\, or shame on us.”  \nWord for Word has a long history of adapting Saunders’ work\, going back to 2017 when they performed a staged reading of a section from his novel  Lincoln in the Bardo at both the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco and Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. Saunders both attended and performed in both readings. Duly impressed by their signature style of using the entire text of a work in realizing a dramatic adaptation of a piece\, he has graciously lent his permission for Word for Word to use his work in subsequent productions\, and has often participated in post-show conversations. Most recently his short story “Victory Lap” was given a full production treatment in Word for Word’s 25th Anniversary Show (2018).

SUMMARY:111 Minna Gallery: The Bay Area 5 - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:111 Minna Gallery is pleased to present their latest project\, ‘The Bay Area 5’ featuring the works of five renowned and highly prolific Bay Area artists. \nOpening on April 20th 2023\, the Bay Area 5 will feature the works of Max Ehrman (Eon 75)\, Seibot\, Nicole Hayden\, Josh Thurman\, and Messy Beck. All five of these artists have been active in the Bay Area throughout the last decade (and longer) creating murals throughout the streets of San Francisco\, the greater Bay Area and abroad. Ranging from backgrounds starting in graffiti\, street art\, illustration\, architecture and fine art; all of these artists have come to make a name for themselves in the Bay with full building-size murals\, expansive street art projects\, dozens of community-driven storefront murals during the pandemic and privately commissioned murals for clients ranging from small businesses in San Francisco to The Googleplex in Mountain View\, Ca. \nMax Ehrman goes under the moniker ‘Eon 75’ meaning Extermination.Of.Normality and 1975\, his birth year. Gaining much of his inspiration from studying architecture in Florida and Germany\, Max has painted murals and exhibited work in 10 countries and 3 continents. He has traveled with the ‘Meeting of Styles’ creating large scale works throughout Europe\, Asia and South America.  \nSeibot (KT Seibert) is an extremely queer\, trans non-binary visual artist and muralist based in San Francisco. KT works primarily in acrylic and latex paint\, metal leaf\, ink\, glitter additives\, and high gloss finishes. KT is the co-owner of Moth Belly Gallery\, located in San Francisco’s Tenderloin. \nNicole Hayden’s work explores a juxtaposition between pattern and figurative realism. She uses imagery from photos and magazines from the 1950s-60s with a vintage color palette to ignite a feeling of nostalgia. She intuitively marries this imagery underneath a colorful patterned foreground with the intention of creating a new open ended story for the viewer to interpret. \nJosh Thurman’s new works explore the combination of making 2D pieces look 3D\, and 3D pieces look 2D. His process of layering wood of different thicknesses provides a unique viewing experience from different angles making his oil paintings look 3D and lifelike. His work explores subjects ranging from cultural iconography to various pop culture based fan art all the way to original characters of his own creation. \nMessy Beck is a painter\, illustrator and muralist. Her work showcases narratives that explore themes of identity\, mental health and human connection. The contrast between her inviting color palettes and uniquely peculiar figures yield paintings that are constantly navigating a fine line between celebratory and disturbing. \nFeaturing art by:\nMax Ehrman (Eon 75) – @maxehrman\nSeibot – @seibot\nNicole Hayden – @nicolehaydenart\nJosh Thurman – @thurmanart\nMessy Beck – @messybeck \nEvent Info:\nWhat: ‘THE BAY AREA 5’\n	Music by DJ David Choong Lee\nWhen:\n    Opening Reception Thursday 4/20/23 from 5:00 PM – 10:00 P M\n    Open By Appointment Saturday 4/22/23 – 7/06/23 – reach out to:dyoungv@111minnagallery.com\n    Closing Party Thursday 6/29/23\n    Art Coming Down Thursday 7/06/23\nWhere: 111 Minna Gallery at 111 Minna St\, San Francisco\, CA 94105 \nAbout 111 Minna Gallery\nOver its 28 years\, 111 Minna Gallery has been recognized as: Winner: Best Art Gallery (2019 & 2018/SF Weekly)\, Winner of the Small Business of the Year Award (2018/SF Chamber of Commerce)\, and Winner of the 2018 Small Business of The Year Award at The Ebbies. 111 Minna continues to be a mainstay for art and culture in the bay area.

SUMMARY:18 Reasons: Five Ingredients: Cantonese - In Person
DESCRIPTION:Price:\n$155.00\nMember Price:\n$145.00 \nA hands-on in-person cooking class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer. This class is limited to 12 students. Review our registration and cancellation policies here. Masks are recommended. \nIn the “Five Ingredients” series\, our aim is to make Asian recipes accessible to anyone intimidated by unknown ingredients\, a lack of storage\, or a lack of time. In this class\, we will make some comforting dishes from Linda’s Cantonese repertoire of recipes – simplified to reduce complexity\, but still full in flavor! Cantonese cuisine is the cuisine of the Guangdong province of China\, particularly the provincial capital Guangzhou\, and the surrounding regions in the Pearl River Delta including Hong Kong and Macau. The popularity of this cuisine outside of China is due to the widespread influence of Cantonese emigrants. The cuisine is known for mild\, fresh\, and slightly sweet flavors\, where the ingredients’ natural flavors are given center stage. Deep frying\, braising\, stir frying\, and steaming are key techniques covered in this class\, plus how to cook rice without a rice cooker! \nYou will use a pantry of salt\, sugar\, sesame\, soy sauce\, and a high-heat neutral oil (ex. grapeseed\, rice bran) and add to it no more than 5 other ingredients per recipe. If you’re looking for new weeknight meal ideas or feel overwhelmed by the breadth of Asian pantry ingredients and don’t know where to start\, join us. Let’s cook classic Cantonese dishes together! \nMENU \nSalt & Pepper Shrimp with Wok Salt \nSoy Sauce Chicken with Ginger Scallion Sauce \nPea Shoots with Garlic \nSteamed Minced Pork with 3 Kinds of Eggs \nAlmond Mungbean Cookie \nPerfect Stovetop Rice \nThis menu contains the following common allergens: Shellfish\, Egg\, Soy\, Tree Nuts\, Peanuts\, Wheat. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions that concern your ability to cook along\, please e-mail info@18reasons.org before purchasing a ticket. \nLet’s Cook Together!  \nLinda Tay Esposito is a teaching chef whose food represents a tribute and a commitment to the authenticity of the cuisines of the Pacific Rim. For the last 18 years\, Linda has shared her passion and knowledge of East and Southeast Asian cuisines in the Bay Area by teaching at many notable cooking schools in the Bay Area.
