Stock Class At Louisville Alfalfa's

The Alfalfa's in Louisville will host a Bone & Meat Stock Demonstration this Saturday, the 11th, from 2 to 4 pm. Cost is $5, and you can sign up online or at Guest Services. They say, "Come and learn what makes this comfort food a superfood! Making your own stock is cost effective and easy!! Don't throw away those bones!!"

I have no idea if Alfalfa's approach will be similar, but I had an eye-opening experience this past Thanksgiving. Sure, I've always made turkey stock with the bones and clinging meat simmered in water. But this past year, one of our guests was a chef, and her method included all sorts of other scraps from the dinner like onion skins, carefully chosen through her knowledgeable eye. The resulting stock, once those solids were drained away, was so much more flavorful than any I've ever made.
