After my first class at Gualala Arts at the end of January 2019 which was sold out, we decided to offer another class. While the basics will be the same, the menu will most likely be different as March is a different season than January, and I have a library of more than 400 recipes from which to choose. So come join me at Gualala
“Perfect” Brown Rice in the Instant Pot
If you eat brown rice one of the biggest, and perhaps, most important Instant Pot questions is “how to get brown rice just like you want it”? After reading hundreds of answers to posts about brown rice, I am convinced that there are multiple issues involved when cooking brown rice so that it’s “perfect”.

When Your Instant Pot Reads ON: What does that mean?
Here is one Instant Pot myth worth exploring. I just read someone exclaiming in a Facebook group that the pot says ON but nothing is happening.

Vegan Holiday Main Course: Pressure Cooked Wild Rice
Thanksgiving is one holiday where I like to get people thinking about traditional, native foods. Wild rice is one of them. This recipe pairs wild rice with fresh and dried fruit, spices, nuts and sherry. It is delicious the first day and for a few days after.

Creamy Winter Squash Soup with Toasted Pumpkin Seed-Apple Topping
I make winter squash soup twenty different ways, depending upon the type of squash and how I season it. This soup has double apple flavoring and a touch of curry powder. The addition of coconut milk makes it rich, while using coconut water adds flavor but keeps the soup lighter. The topping takes it a big step beyond ordinary. If you like this soup and
