SUMMARY:Get Hooked: Spring Seafood Demo & Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Get hooked on Seafood!\nOnce again ESB is collaborating with Get Hooked Seafood and 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. \nChef P.A. Tremblay will lead the demonstration which will include appetizers and entrees 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. \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:Winemaker Evening: Arnaud Fabre of Benom Wines
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Arnaud Fabre of Benom Wines! \nFor our first Winemaker evening\, ESB is featuring Benom Wines in Paso Robles\, a small production boutique winery located in Tin City. \nWinemakers Arnaud and brother Guillaume come from a family of grape growers and winemakers. After 24 years in Narbonne\, he moved to Bordeaux. Both regions famous for their wines\, but are also very different from each other. It requires some grape growing and winemaking experience to switch from one to the other\, such as different climates\, soil types\, vine sicknesses and more. \nBenom is the phonetic translation of the French word binôme\, which translates to “a project together.” Guillaume and brother are French\, and for them making wine is a heritage. \n\nArnaud and Guillaume Fabre moved to California for Love. For Guillaume\, it was his love of winemaking and farming without limits that brought him to Paso Robles\, where he began making wine for one of the most prestigious wineries in Paso Robles\, L’Aventure. This passion eventually lead him to start his own brand of immaculate wine\, Clos Solene. \n \nArnaud’s story is much more like that of a movie scene. His move to California was to follow the love of his life\, Chloe. This is how the two brothers -Les Deux Freres Fabre- ended up in Paso Robles. The story gets far more interesting\, but you will have to come find out for yourself!​ \nA tribute to the extensive Fabre legacy in both the Languedoc-Roussillon and Bordeaux regions; as multi generational stewards\, farmers and winemakers from birth; the essence of everything Benom\, is the utmost quality and infinite expression of what the central coast of California has to offer in harmony with the innate skilled craft of the Fabre bloodline. \n \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!”\nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight!

This culinary workshop gives 5 novice chefs the opportunity to cook a new recipe with guidance of a knowledgable culinary professional\, and the company of fellow hobbyist cooks. January’s Test Kitchen will be hosted by Judy Astbury! \n\nThink of all the recipes you wish you could make\, but aren’t sure how to execute… What does it mean to ‘dice’? How do I know if chicken is cooked properly? What the shuck is a roux?! Well now is your chance to sum up the courage to expand your cooking horizons! Want to make a beautifully roasted chicken? Perfectly medium rare Ribeye? Creamy Mac & cheese? You got this! \nGuests will bring all ingredients for their dish. The host home will provide the kitchen and tools. If a recipe requires substantial prep (i.e. brining\, curing\, etc…) those preparations should be done in advance\, and the ESB team can answer cooking related questions prior to the event so you are well prepared for your workshop! \nGuest Registration must include:\nPlease list at least at least two (2) dishes (titles\, recipes\, or website links). ESB will contact you as the event nears to confirm the dish from your list. ESB Team will choose one of the submissions for the attendee to prepare. (This ensures a variety of dishes!) An ESB team member will reach out to guests before the event to confirm details.\nNo pressure here…Some recipes will be winners and some will be duds. The best recipes we’ll share with club members\, so that others can expand their horizons as home chefs as well! As always\, enjoy a glass of wine\, learn something new from your Chef leader and fellow members\, and then sample each other’s dishes! \n\nHappy Cooking!\nP.S.

SUMMARY:Get Hooked: Fall Seafood Demo
DESCRIPTION:Get hooked on Seafood!\nOnce again ESB is collaborating with Get Hooked Seafood and 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. \nChef P.A. Tremblay will lead the demonstration which will include appetizers and entrees 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. \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.
