SUMMARY:Get Hooked CSF Seafood Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:ESB is collaborating with Chef P.A. Tremblay to host a culinary demonstration on how to store\, prep and cook seafood sourced through Get Hooked\, a Community Supported Fishery Service that delivers locals the highest quality sustainable seafood\, sourced directly from local fishermen. \nLocal\, sustainably-caught seafood is not easy to find in stores in Santa Barbara. Most of Santa Barbara’s seafood leaves town\, and the community is largely unaware of how desirable our local seafood is and how much better it is for the environment compared with buying imported seafood. \nChef P.A. Tremblay will lead the demonstration which will end with a meal featuring the fresh catch courtesy Get Hooked. This spontaneous\, and (partially) improvised interpretation of the dinner preparation will be a fun\, homespun approach to cooking; utilizing ingredients available in a home kitchen\, and techniques that are easily adaptable to any species of fish. \nA representative from Get Hooked will also be present to educate members on Community Supported Fisheries and sustainability\, and the diversity of the Santa Barbara Channel! Guests will see how Get Hooked’s seafood arrives\, and experience first-hand the quality of the catch\, all while learning tricks and tips to cook seafood to perfection with easy\, no-recipe needed techniques. ESB will provide beverages.\nWhile seafood counters at Santa Barbara stores are stocked with foreign products that may or may not be harvested sustainably or labeled truthfully\, CSF’s such as Get Hooked know exactly who caught your seafood\, where it was caught\, and how and when it was caught. They provide information on the species of seafood\, health benefits\, and even a short bio of the fisherman. Their passion is bringing the Santa Barbara Channel into your home! To learn more about Get Hooked\, visit their website at: gethookedseafood.com \nGet Hooked is also offering our members a promotion! Use the code ‘epicureansb’ for $10 off your first purchase.

SUMMARY:Ladies n’ Whites
DESCRIPTION:Step aside [again]\, gentlemen\, this event is for the ladies…\nBack by popular demand is another Women’s only wine tasting! This time\, we are featuring single varietal white wines! \nScience has proven that women have better palates than men\, but sometimes in the midst of a group setting\, women don’t have the opportunity to show that. It’s time to discover your wine palate in the company of other friendly female members. Whether you are a beginning taster just now recognizing your appreciation of Santa Barbara Pinots\, or a seasoned wine enthusiast looking to add to your collection\, come and take part in a fun\, girls only evening\, and let your palate take the lead! \nThe evening will start with a Rosé toast and a lite dinner (suitable for all diets)\, and will follow with a blind tasting and open conversation of three highly-rated single varietal white wines led by Debby Allen. Through the evening we will discuss the defining factors behind three varietals or regions\, using the textbook wine tasting criteria: see\, swirl\, smell\, sip…(and then sip some more). \nDebby Allen\, who is leading the tasting\, was a key figure in Cencibel\, a women only wine group in Philadelphia\, PA; (named for the grape as well as for its intended “sensible” meaning). Cencibel was dedicated to the appreciation of Fine Wine And Food in the company of other passionate women\, and today Debby continues to foster friendships and wine appreciation through her group led tastings in Santa Barbara. \nGreat wine\, great company\, lots of fun…and a few giggles.

SUMMARY:ESB Cigar Night: Rolling Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:…It’s said that Mark Twain smoked as little as 22 cigars a day. He was supposedly quoted as saying…\n“If smoking is not allowed in Heaven\, I shall not go.”\n For this educational\, interactive and eye opening event (suitable for cigar smokers and non-smokers alike)\, ESB is bringing in Edward Carmona\, a LA-based Torcedor (Cuban for “one who twists”) who specializes in the art and craft of cigar rolling. \nOur own Master Cigar roller will guide guests through the craft of cigar rolling\, and all will observe cigars being created right in front of their eyes (while enjoying cigars and beverages).  After the demonstration\, cigars will continually be crafted and even customized by strength\, flavor\, or by beverage pairing. Those brave enough will even have the opportunity to hand roll their own\, (even the non-smokers).The assortment of cigars will include an array of styles\, blends and strengths\, including the full-bodied Aged Maduro dark wrappers. With a focus on the cuban style\, Edward will explain the history and art of cigar making\, from the blends and fillers\, styles\, types of leaves and wrappers\, to the range of flavors from light to dark\, and light-bodied to deeper-bodied. El Canito Cigars are made with a quality blend of premium tobacco leaves from the Dominican Republic\, where some of the highest quality tobacco is grown. This ensures the quality of the tobacco and an aromatic and flavorful smoke of their Natural and Connecticut Shade as well as their Maduro cigars. \nThere are two ticket options for this experience\, the Full Cigar Experience and the Social Expericene (non-smoking). Those who opt for the full Cigar Experience will receive two cigars throughout the evening: one to smoke during the event and demonstration\, and another to either take home\, or smoke that evening as well. Additional cigars may be purchased at the event! ESB will provide a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages\, as well as small bar bites. The spirit selection will be based on the evening’s cigar selection\, and will include Whiskeys\, Liqueurs\, and other Spirits; to ensure harmony between cigars and beverages. \nWhether you are a seasoned cigar-smoker\, or a friend or significant other to one who appreciates this century old art form\, join us for this educational\, fun\, and social evening.

SUMMARY:Yunnan Cuisine Dinner with Georgia Freedman
DESCRIPTION:Food Writer and Cookbook Author Georgia Freedman is leading ESB members on a unique culinary and cultural tour by preparing recipes from her newest cookbook: Cooking South of the Clouds—Recipes and Stories from China’s Yunnan Province. \nAs the Managing Editor for the award-winning food magazine Saveur\, Georgia and her husband lived in the Yunnan Province of Southwestern China\, where she studied the food cultures of the dozens of minority groups that populate that unique corner of the world. After traveling extensively through the Yunnan Province\, learning about the cuisine that has influences from Burma\, Myanmar\, Vietnam and Thailand\, Georgia collected recipes and stories that she has compiled into this cookbook. \nLearn about Yunnan cuisine and the culture\, and enjoy a two-course family style dinner\, featuring a variety of hot and cold dishes from the cookbook. Georgia will share her stories & cooking tips with the members\, and is offering a discount on the Cookbook when purchased with the event. \nDishes will include:\n1st Course (cold dishes)\nCold Rice with Beef\nGhost Chicken\nCucumber with Peanuts\nMulti-Colored Sticky Rice\n2nd Course (hot dishes)\nSteam Pot Chicken Soup\nStewed Beef with Sour Bamboo and Mint\nShao Kao Style Stuffed Eggplant\nStir-Fried Okra and Pressed Tofu\nStir-Fried Mushrooms with Sichuan Peppercorn Oil\nSteamed Rice…and more. \nBYOB (Bring Your Own Beverage)\nYunnan is the other China\, the place where the culture of the Han majority gives way to the traditions and histories of the country’s minorities. The province is the most diverse part of China culturally\, biologically\, and meteorologically. \nIt is a region of delicious foods. The area’s biodiversity and the many cultures thriving in this tiny bit of the world have come together to create a wide variety of food traditions. In addition to its amazing wealth of mushrooms\, the region is famous for its hams\, which rival those of Italy; its pickled vegetables\, which are especially popular in the province’s central regions; its many kinds of edible flowers\, which are cooked in soups and stir-fries; and its spicy chiles and Sichuan peppercorns. The province offers a seemingly endless array of things to eat\, and people from all over China travel there to enjoy its marvelous foods. In a food-obsessed country\, Yunnan is the food destination everyone wants to visit. \nCookbook Excerpt \nHowever\, there is really no such thing as “Yunnan food.” The province is so diverse that it contains a number of distinct styles\, each a reflection of a particular area’s natural resources and the cultural practices of the people who live there. In the tropical areas in the south\, grilled foods are common\, and most dishes are flavored with fresh herbs and searingly spicy chiles. Grilled foods and raw vegetable salads are also popular to the west\, along Yunnan’s border with Myanmar\, but the dishes there also reflect the influences of cross-border trade\, and many foods resemble Burmese dishes. In the east\, where Yunnan borders the provinces of Guizhou and Guangxi\, the food is milder and includes ingredients more commonly found in southern China\, while up north\, on the edge of the Tibetan plateau\, you’ll find hearty cold-weather foods as well as traditional Tibetan dishes like yak-filled momos. And in central Yunnan\, cooks combine these styles with flavors popular in nearby Sichuan\, adding lots of pickled vegetables\, dried chiles\, and Sichuan peppercorns to the mix. \nJoin us for a unique\, educational\, and interactive evening!

SUMMARY:Epicurean Culinary Test Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:Introducing the Epicurean Culinary Test Kitchen\nIn keeping with our mission of providing food and wine education\, Epicurean Santa Barbara is creating the Epicurean Culinary Test Kitchen! This culinary workshop brings together 5-6 intermediate to advanced home cooks who will each create a dish based on a chosen recipe. \nThink of all the recipes you wish you could make\, but haven’t found the time or occasion to make them! The ESB Test Kitchen gives chefs the opportunity to test a new interesting recipe in the company of fellow hobbyist cooks. Enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail\, observe and learn each others’ tricks and techniques\, and then sample each other’s dishes!  No pressure here…Some recipes will be winners and some will be duds. The best recipes we’ll share with club members with chefs’ notes\, so that others can expand their horizons as home chefs!Each ESB Test Kitchen Workshop is open to 4-5 attendees. Guests will register for an appetizer\, starter\, main\, side\, or dessert. They will bring with them all ingredients for their dish. If recipes require substantial prep (i.e. brining\, curing\, etc…) those preparations should be done in advance. The host will provide the kitchen\, tools\, culinary knowledge\, and will reach out to guests before the event to ensure they have all the required tools needed (i.e. blender\, wok\, meat grinder). ESB Staff will be on hand to assist in set-up\, clean-up\, stirring\, chopping\, mashing\, wine pouring\, or other culinary tasks. Our first Test Kitchen will be hosted by Judy Astbury! \nHappy Cooking!\nP.S. If you would like to host an ESB Test Kitchen in your own home\, please reach out to amy@epicureansb.com.

SUMMARY:Blind Wine Tasting and Fellowship Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Put your palate to the test at ESB’s Blind Wine Tasting & Fellowship dinner! \nGuests will come together to enjoy a “Fellowship Dinner”\, where each guest brings a food item (starter\, side\, or entree) to share family style…i.e. Potluck and sit down blind wine tasting of 6 red Rhone varietal wines. Members will gather\, taste three single varietals\, enjoy dinner\, then proceed to a blind tasting where palates and red wines will be put to the test. Don’t want to cook? No problem! Call up our friends at C’est Cheese\, Tino’s or Whole Foods and have them put together a cheese\, charcuterie\, or apertivo platter; or order a dish from your favorite restaurant to share with friends. \n\nThe theme of this blind tasting is: high quality Rhone varietal red blends vs. pure Rhone red varietals. Can you tell the difference between a 100% Syrah\, Mourvèdre\, or Grenache versus a blend\, such as a GSM? Whether a beginner or advanced super taster\, this blind tasting is a great opportunity to grow your wine knowledge and palate. The education doesn’t stop there…not only are your testing your palate\, but you’re putting the wine to the test\, correlating the perceived quality of a blend against that of a single varietal. What do you prefer? Why 100%? Why the blend? How do the varietals affect the overall flavor and aromatics of the blend?

SUMMARY:Chef's Table Truffle Lunch with Tiziano Fioretti
DESCRIPTION:EAT THE TRUFFLE. BUY THE TRUFFLE. BE THE TRUFFLE.\n…Ok so that last part is a little metaphysical\, but it’s hard to contain our excitement around truffle season! ESB is offering members two opportunities to experience Italian Winter Black Truffles during the few precious weeks they are in season: \n1. A Truffle Lunch at Mosto Crudo w/chef Tiziano Fioretti & Truffle Purveyor Andrea Sempribon\n2. Black Winter Truffle Purchase through Epicurean Santa Barbara.\nThese opportunities are contingent upon a minimum number of registrations!\nChef Ti has designed a five course menu whose purpose is to take guests on a Black Truffle journey. Each course will be prepared a la minute\, in front of guests\, and will be topped of with fresh shaved black truffles. Starting with shaved truffle over sunny side up egg\, which offers the best expression of the truffle\, each dish will showcase the ingredient alongside classic and expertly crafted flavors and dishes. \nAdditionally\, Andrea Sempribon\, Truffle importer and Sommelier\, will teach members all about this famous fungi\, including its cultivation\, use\, storage\, and history! \n\nMembers are welcome to BYOB (no extra charge!)\, order wines by the glass\, or opt in for a wine pairing designed by Andrea\, featuring wines from the Piedmont region (Barolo\, Barbaesco\, ect.)\, where the truffles are cultivated. For questions about substitutions\, please email amy@epicureansb.com. \n**In order to execute this event\, at least 6 registrations are needed. If attendance does not reach 6\, this event will be cancelled\, and registrations refunded.\nMENU\nScallop Crudo\n…Topped with shaved truffles\nSunny Side Up Egg\n…Topped with shaved truffles\nSteak Tartare\n…Also topped with shaved truffles\nChef Ti’s Handmade Gluten-free Fettuccine with Butter & Parmesan\n…And still more shaved truffles\nVegan Coconut Ice Cream\n…We said this is all about truffles. So yes\, Truffles on this too!\nWine Pairing TBA\n\nBLACK WINTER TRUFFLE PURCHASE\nThe 2nd opportunity to experience the delicacy is to purchase truffles for your own home cooking! ESB is organizing a bulk purchase so eager home chefs can indulge in this delicacy with their own recipes\, or dazzle their friends\, family\, and significant others with shaved truffles during the holiday season! \nItalian Black Winter truffles have the best flavor and best pricing this time of year\, and we can acquire Black Winter Truffles at $1.0 per gram. Registration for the truffles ends on Friday at 5:00pm\, and truffles will be available for pick-up at Mosto Crudo between between Dec. 26th and 29th\, just in time for a decadent New Year’s celebration. \nPICK-UP\, STORAGE\, and USE:\nRegistrants will be notified once the truffles are available. When picking up truffles\, bring a glass jar full of white arborio rice. Why? Rice is the ideal medium to keep the humidity in check and to properly insulate the truffle. Keep truffles in the glass jar submerged in rice\, in the fridge until use. Uncut\, the truffles will least about a week in fridge. After time they dry out and lose flavor. \nOnce it has been sliced\, use remaining truffle within a day or two. But don’t you dare throw out that rice! It will be\nbeautifully fragranced with truffle\, and will make a delicious risotto. \nTruffles can be purchased in 50gm increments. 50 gm is the recommended portion for two servings of truffles\, or multiple small plates. (For example\, if preparing a pasta dish for two people\, 50 gms will be enough to shave over both dishes.)\nSimply shave over anything and everything. \nUse a mandolin or truffle slicer (check on amazon) to shave wafer thin slices of fresh black truffle over the top of a hot dish just before serving (like roast chicken served with a light jus\, topped with finely shaved truffle – the warmth of the cooked meat gently releases the aroma of the truffle)\, or finely chop about 10g of black truffle (until it resembles the grated dark chocolate) and sprinkle on cheesy cauliflower gratin or thick\, creamy potato mash finished with a dollop of best artisan butter.
