Thanks to everyone who joined us for the first StrEatery in October. This event was organized with Land & Ladle, in partnership with COOL Cuisine Davis. We had thirteen local food trucks & pop-ups, offering cuisines ranging from Mexican to Filipino to Hawaiian and more. Local beer and wine were also available, with live music by Boca do Rio.
We also partnered with The Bike Campaign to provide a bike valet to encourage attendees to bike. All leftover food was donated to The Davis Night Market.
It was a very community oriented event with a warm and friendly environment. We are planning another StrEatery for next year. Stay tuned for the date! In the meanwhile, here are some exciting numbers -designed by Land & Ladle-:

Cooking with the Community
Coming soon to our Teaching Kitchen!
Early in the New Year, The Teaching Kitchen will start offering a free monthly class for those who use food resources in Yolo county; Yolo County Food Bank, Aggie Compass, etc.
Following a recipe on a budget can be tricky and often not feasible. These classes will demonstrate how to cook what we have, easy alternatives to recipes, and yummy recipes made with common donation items (like canned tomatoes!)

Fresh Pumpkin Mousse
1 cup cream cheese
1 cup sugar
11/2 cups pumpkin puree (1 small Sugar Pie Pumpkin)
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg
¼ tsp. ground cloves
1 cup whipped cream
Slice Pumpkin in half, remove seeds and place in casserole dish with 1/2 inch of water in the bottom. Cover and bake at 375 °F for about 25 minutes or until the skin can be easily punctured with a fork. Mash with potato masher or food processor, and let cool.
Mix the cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin and spices. Gently fold in whipped cream. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
This makes a nice tart filling, or serve it in wine glasses with a little more whipped cream on top. Get creative, and use any small squash we carry!
