Welcome to Marie’s latest and greatest series: High Voltage Vegetables: Late Summer Edition! We are going to make full-flavored, no holds barred vegetable dishes and it will rule.

Late summer is an exceptional time to be in the Bay Area, as we finally experience a proper summer and can finally indulge in recipes that our friends in other parts of the USA have been savoring. Our farmer's markets shine brightly during this season, offering a bountiful array of succulent tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and an abundance of other vibrant produce.

In truth, this class is gilding the lily. Nothing needs to be done to those perfect summer tomatoes but including them in the ridiculously easy Late Summer Stone Fruit Gazpacho or in the re-imagined classic, EBLT (Eggplant Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato) salad is never a wrong move.

You'll discover tips and tricks on how to tame the bitterness of eggplant and unlock its true potential. Additionally, Marie will reveal a simple trick to de-slime okra, an underrated gem from West Africa. Prepare to be converted to the church of okra.

Please join us as we celebrate the essence of summer by making recipes that showcase the brilliance of this season's produce, elevating them to new heights.
