Basil: Growing & Cooking

The first half of this class will cover how to start basil from seed, whether you have a plot of land, a fire escape or just your windowsill. Then participants will move on to learn how to use homegrown basil in three basic sauces - Basil Oil, Homemade Basil Mayonnaise and Classic Pesto, as well as different ways to preserve Basil through the winter. Each member of the class will go home with their own started seeds, a jar of each sauce to use at home, and a list of preservation methods and recipes.
