But wait\, there is more San Francisco to fit on the plate: our very own vibrant Green Goddess dressing\, punchy with herbs and garlic\, poured as a steak sauce on the side.

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.  When his son was born\, Mike transitioned his career into teaching\, returning to the CCA where he eventually became the Executive Chef and Director of Academics. Mike also returned to school for training in his new field\, earning a Master’s Degree in Education. Having taught for Le Cordon Bleu North America in both online and brick and mortar schools\, Mike is thrilled to return to teaching in a neighborhood-based community.  When he is not teaching he reaps the benefits of his backyard garden\, kept in perfect order by his Master Gardener wife.

SUMMARY:ATA: Other Cinema: BAD PUPPETS
DESCRIPTION:CHILD’s ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES + KAVANAGH’s WE’VE BEEN WARNED \nThis first of two Puppet Shows—this one foregrounding the Scary—sees the SF premiere of Abigail Child‘s Origin of the Species\, her masterful hour-plus exploration of both new tech/engineering developments and of radically new understandings of the relations between humans and machines…that are apparently our equals\, and soon to be our superiors. Abby‘s cinematic genius is realized in exquisite doc coverage—especially of the new Japanese initiatives. Opening the evening is a much-needed push-back from OC ally Mike Kavanagh\, A Short History of Robots and AI in Cinema\, that presses the case for regulatory action to keep the genie back in the bottle. This 40-minute chronology includes scores of riveting clips\, from Metropolis to Colossus: The Forbin Project\, and beyond\, teasing out the critical distinctions between “generative” and “sentient”. Enhancing the two anchors are Keith Sanborn on Jeremy Bentham\, Peter Freund on HAL 9000\, Mark Shephard‘s Sentient City\, and David Cox‘ “real-world” noggin’-choppin’ heli-drone! $13

SUMMARY:Verdi Club: SF Salon Music - Heels
DESCRIPTION:$65 – 120 \nThey say that to know a person’s journey\, you need to walk a mile in their shoes. At this salon\, we’ll learn about the stories of several dancers through the history of their shoes – from bare feet to pointe slippers to tango heels! \nThe program will start with a talk about the symbolism and feminism of shoes\, why women wear heels\, and how wearing heels changes and reflects the body – the look from outside the shoes and the feel from inside the shoes. Then\, join us for riveting dance performances from a group of trained dancers representing many different styles. You’ll walk away inspired\, and learn a bit more to tell your story with your own shoes. \nAs always with SF Salon Music\, expect the unexpected! You’ll leave with new knowledge\, new memories\, and perhaps even a new connection. Join us on April 30 at the Verdi Club in San Francisco for this once-in-a-lifetime performance.

This class is limited to 12 students. Review our registration and cancellation policies here.

Join us for a class celebrating the versatility of the iconic pastry known as Pâte à Choux!  \nFirst\, you’ll make gougères. These light-as-air gruyere cheese puffs are the perfect canvas for savory fillings (or solo snacking). Make them ahead of time and you’ll have a delicious appetizer at the ready.

You’ll serve the dumplings with brown butter and even more cheese. Finally\, we’ll work together to make a towering dessert that intimidates many a home baker: the croquembouche. French for “crunch in the mouth\,” a croquembouche is a cone-shaped tower of cream puffs (aka profiteroles) bound together by caramel. \nAdd this dynamo of a dough to your repertoire with this essential recipe! \nMENU \nGougères \nGnocchi à la Parisienne with Brown Butter and Sage \nCroquembouche—Vanilla Custard Cream Puffs with Caramel \nThis menu contains the following common allergens: Egg\, Dairy\, Wheat.

After a career in science\, she followed her passion to become a pastry chef. She loves anything to do with food—cooking\, gardening\, recipe development\, and especially teaching. In a nod to many of her students’ baking anxieties\, Jennifer demystifies the process by teaching baking fundamentals\, allowing her students to return home with the confidence to create their own masterpieces. Jennifer’s specialties include baking and desserts.

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: Tofu: is an introduction to this wonderful and versatile ingredient.  Three uses in this class as well\, as we only begin to explore the many applications of this culinary jack-of-all-trades. \nTo begin\, we will make a riff on classic Mapo Tofu.  Chickpeas instead of pork\, but a soft\, simmering use of tofu\, sparked with ginger and garlic.  We will have a great introduction to the world of Sichuan peppercorns\, as their numbing heat is essential in this dish.  Plated with some rice our volunteers will whip up in the back\, and our first dish on the tofu tour. \nNext we will revisit Chef Mike’s first college days\, very early in San Diego with tofu fish tacos.  No mahi in this version: we will dust pieces of firm\, marinated tofu in seaweed flavored flour\, then beer batter the tofu and deep fry it.  Whip up some taco garnishes\, all vegetarian\, and assemble our “fish” tacos in a tofurrific application. \nFinally we will wrap up our tour with dessert\, with a pudding where our culinary All Star will go out in deep disguise.  No one will know what makes our pudding so smooth and unctuous\, but we will all know its silky tofu at the base.  It’s up to you whether you tell or not\, but we encourage you to celebrate tofu in all its incarnations. \nMENU \nMapo Tofu with Chickpeas \nDeep fried Tofu “Fish” Tacos\, Crunchy Slaw\, Guacamole\, and Vegan Crema; Vegetarian Refried Beans with Warm Salsa Topping \nChocolate Orange Tofu  Mousse  \nThis menu contains the following common soy\, 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!  \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.  When his son was born\, Mike transitioned his career into teaching\, returning to the CCA where he eventually became the Executive Chef and Director of Academics. Mike also returned to school for training in his new field\, earning a Master’s Degree in Education. Having taught for Le Cordon Bleu North America in both online and brick and mortar schools\, Mike is thrilled to return to teaching in a neighborhood-based community.  When he is not teaching he reaps the benefits of his backyard garden\, kept in perfect order by his Master Gardener wife.

Then we will learn the pilaf-method of rice cookery for perfect fluffy rice\, and glaze some colorful carrots in buttery goodness to wrap up our dish. \nThe secrets of crispy-skinned fish will center our second offering\, as we crisp up some local and sustainable rock cod.
