  "At home I serve the kind of food I know the story behind."
— Michael Pollan

Local Food, Local Flavor
At CSR, we believe that true commitment to great food begins with the first links in the food chain. Aromatic peaches, sumptuous heirloom tomatoes, endless blue skies, majestic Rocky Mountains, lush rolling farmland, and free-range Colorado eggs, lambs and pigs.

This July, our first Culinary Arts Farm To Table Externship Program begins. The students in this course will prepare a wonderful Harvest Dinner at Pastures of Plenty Farm in Boulder on October 9th.

In addition to the Harvest Dinner and Farm To Table Externship Program, our Market Chef performs seasonal cooking demos at the Boulder County Farmers' Market, we utilize fresh farm products in our Home Cook classes when available, and offer a Colorado Farm To Table menu to Corporate Kitchen clients who book events with us. We are proud to support local producers, offer seasonal Colorado products to our students and guests, and maintain a positive impact on the direction of American food culture.

Recipe: Savory Crepes with Goat Cheese and Spinach
Visit our Chef at the Market every Wednesday evening and every Saturday morning at the Boulder County Farmers' Market. Watch demonstrations, pick up free recipes, and gather advice for cooking with seasonal ingredients fresh from the market.

Ingredients:

Crepes
1 cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup whole wheat flour
1 cup milk, room temp
¼ cup corn meal
1 cup club soda
4 large eggs
Oil for cooking crepes

Filling
8-10 cups spinach, blanched in boiling salted water for one minute and shocked in ice water. Drain and dry spinach on clean kitchen towel.
8 oz. goat cheese, room temp (chevre is great)
1 bunch of chives (steam 30 sec. until soft)
1 jar of pepper jelly
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Method:

Crepes: Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Add milk, club soda, eggs & oil. Beat until just smooth; do not over mix. Let batter sit one hour. Heat a 6-in. nonstick pan over medium heat and coat lightly with oil. Add just enough batter into the pan to coat evenly and thinly. Cook until the bottom is lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Flip the crepe and cook a few more seconds. Continue the process until all the batter is used, stacking crepes in between sheets of waxed paper. Crepes can be made ahead and stored in fridge.

Preheat oven to 350°. Place ½ tablespoon of goat cheese in center of each crepe with 1 teaspoon of jalapeno jelly and a tablespoon of spinach. Fold the sides of the crepe over the cheese and spinach to make a square package. Tie each crepe with garlic chive. Arrange packages in a casserole dish and drizzle evenly with melted butter. Bake long enough to melt the goat cheese, 10-15 minutes. Serve at once.

Food Trivia

How many seeds are in a strawberry?

Answer:
On the average, there are 200 tiny seeds in every strawberry. If all the strawberries produced in California this year were laid berry to berry, they'd wrap around the world 15 times.
