SUMMARY:COOKING CLASS: Full-Day Breadmaking Intensive by Leo Baduria
DESCRIPTION:This workshop takes place at Café ZuZu\, 555 Dundas St. E.\nOne of The Depanneur’s most popular workshops!\nJoin artisanal baker Leo Baduria for a full-day\, in-depth exploration of the fundamentals of great bread. You’ll learn how to make your own sourdough starter\, and how to prepare different types of dough\, using various grains and flours. There will be hands-on practice of the techniques to folding\, kneading and shaping dough to make focaccia\, fougasse\, baguettes\, boules\, batards and brioches\, including challah braids. \nThe morning focuses on dough-making; first for the focaccia and pizza\, followed by the dough for baguettes\, boules and batards using different types of flour. This is then followed by making the brioche dough\, which takes longer to rise. \nThe afternoon focuses on the shaping and baking of the various breads\, starting with the focaccia and pizza dough. By mid-afternoon the baguette\, boules and batards will be ready to shape. While they are baking\, the brioche dough will be ready for shaping into various types\, such as challah\, loaf\, brioche buns. \nThroughout the day there will be oven-fresh bread to snack on with cheese\, fruits\, and some charcuterie — please feel free to bring any topping you’d like to share! \n—–\nLeo Baduria‘s introduction to fine breads started in Montreal where he lived from 1977 to 1988. This beautiful city boasts a large number of fine boulangeries in just about every quartier where one can find a superb baguette for dinner or croissant for breakfast. This growing fascination with French breads led him to try baking his own baguettes via several books on French baking. Over time\, Leo assisted several bakers in Montreal\, France and Italy – learning techniques that he would incorporate in his own baking – and has since given several sold out bread workshops to bread lovers who wanted to learn the artisanal way of making bread. Leo’s approach to baking is one that respects the soul of the living yeasts\, the quality of grains used to make the flour and the enjoyment of the whole baking process from start to finish.\n@mywindowtotheworld \n\n—–\nEvery week\, The Depanneur invites TO’s best culinary talents to lead fun\, hands-on workshops.\n@thedepanneur

SUMMARY:SUPPER CLUB: Indigenous Food Lab by Chef Taylor Parker
DESCRIPTION:Toronto is part of the Dish With One Spoon Covenant. In its very language\, it reminds us that by eating together\, we are connected.  \nThe Depanneur is proud to host the Indigenous Food Lab\, a new monthly residency with Chef Taylor Parker\, the man behind The Dep’s acclaimed and subversive Canada Day Supper Clubs.  It is designed as space to consider the possibilities of an elevated\, communal dining experience rooted in First Nations traditions. It is a laboratory to explore and experiment with a Canadian concept of terroir – the flavour of a place — to rediscover and redefine what Indigenous food means today. \nChef Taylor’s sophisticated tasting menus celebrate local and foraged ingredients\, and a deep connection to First Nations foodways\, to our land and our shared heritage. Each meal showcases a range of wild ingredients native to Ontario. Weather\, timing\, season\, and the caprice of Mother Nature will determine exactly what will be shared with us. Whatever comes to the table\, you can be assured that it will be crafted with remarkable skill and creativity of a veteran fine-dining chef. \n\nRead the profile of Chef Taylor from The Depanneur Cookbook\n  \nWe live in the largest city in Canada\, one of the most ethnically and culinarily diverse cities in the world. One can find almost any dish from almost any cuisine\, with one glaring\, egregious exception: the country we actually live in. Indigenous food is criminally underrepresented in Toronto’s food scene\, without a single Indigenous-owned restaurant for people to patronize. More than ever before\, Canada needs to embrace and celebrate its indigenous culinary heritage\, and I believe the long path towards reconciliation can and should start at the table. \nWhy no menu?\n—–\nTaylor Parker is of the Mohawk Nation\, Bear Clan\, from Six Nations of the Grand River. \nTaylor is a proud father\, chef\, forager\, gardener\, and friend. His extensive knowledge of native North American plants brings rarely seen ingredients and flavours to his dishes\, with the philosophy that food is a conduit to connect people back to the land. Taylor is passionate about bringing like-minded Chefs together to share\, educate\, and collaborate on unique dishes that seek to define modern First Nations North American Cuisine. Taylor is proud to work alongside fellow cooks and friends Phil Magtulis and Matthew Kleinsteuber at The Depanneur dinner series. \nTaylor has spent much of his professional life working in a diverse range of kitchens and catering. He currently runs MT Hospitality focused on unique hunt\, fished and foraged First Nations inspired events and dinners\, and is also the co-owner of For4ged Candle Company in Brantford\, Ontario. @turok_parker \n—–\nEvery weekend The Depanneur invites an amateur or professional guest chef to host a fun\, informal dinner party. @thedepanneur

SUMMARY:COOKING CLASS: Intro to Whole Animal Butchery by Chef Taylor Parker
DESCRIPTION:Breaking down a whole animal is not only more cost-effective than buying pre-cut parts\, but it give you much more control over the resulting cuts\, allowing you to optimize them for specific dishes. Join Chef Taylor Parker for an in-depth introduction to whole-animal butchery. This hands-on\, day-long workshop will cover the techniques and cuts for three primary types of animal encountered in the kitchen: quadrupeds\, fish and fowl. \nWe’ll start with an introduction to butchering whole chicken. Everyone will get hands-on experience learning how break down a chicken into its component parts\, and there will be a demonstration of some more advanced techniques like deboning\, Frenched breasts\, and wing lollipops. We’ll follow up with a fish butchery demonstration with an opportunity for everyone to learn how to fillet and debone a whole fish. We’ll prepare some snacks from the freshly butchered chicken & fish to enjoy in class \nNext up is learning how to break down a whole quadruped (most likely a whole\, small pig\, depending on availability; the same techniques apply to all). You’ll learn all the main primal and sub-primal cuts\, as well as some more specific types of cuts. There will be demo and discussion of the best applications of different cuts\, from steaks and roasts to ground meat and sausage\, as well as more advanced techniques like removing silver skin\, Frenching ribs\, and preparing scallopini. \nAll participants will take home generous\, vacuum-sealed portions of the meats they prepared in class\, along with notes and recipes.\n—–\n \nTaylor Parker is of the Mohawk Nation\, Bear Clan\, from Six Nations of the Grand River. \nTaylor is a proud father\, chef\, forager\, gardener\, and friend.
