This is a class entirely devoted to the wonder that is the fig.  These recipes are all from Sherri Lee’s delightful new cookbook, Under the Fig Leaf.

Figs have been cultivated more than 11,400 years in Southern Arabia and the Eastern Mediterranean.  The early Greeks so highly prized figs that the Olympic athletes were given figs to eat and the first Olympic “medals” were fig-leaf wreaths.  To celebrate all things “figgy” La Cucina is offering a class entirely devoted to this wonder food.  The recipes are from Knoxville resident, Sherri Lee’s delightful cookbook, Under the Fig Leaf.  The instructors for this class, Chef Joseph and Linda Ullian Schmid, also served as testers, editors and food stylists for the project.  The author, Sherri Lee will be with us as well to autograph copies her book and share her passion for cultivating and cooking with figs.


Menu:

  • Grissini wrapped with fig spread and prosciutto
  • Pickled figs
