OUR PORK
In this class, Jean-Claude will be teaching how to butcher a HERITAGE
HOG from MARIN SUN FARMS in Marin County, Northern California--100%
natural and sustainably, humanely pastured raised. We looked for many
months to find pork that would be the right fat ratio for French
Charcuterie (which is actually more lean than most Americans suspect)
and moist enough for center cuts and chops. During the class you
will learn what makes Heritage Pork the right balance--how the pigs
are raised and what actually goes into breeding them.
HOW TO DRESS:
Very casual! Just a T-shirt and shorts or slacks as you will be
wearing a smock as well. And comfortable shoes as you’ll be standing
for most of the event. Dress to peel as the temperature in the
kitchen can vary.
WHAT TO BRING:
Everything you need will be provided. But if you have a
favorite boning or paring knife from your kitchen that you feel
comfortable, feel free to bring it. Come eager to learn, share, make
new friends and have fun—because this is a super fun class and
let’s face it, learning how to cut a half-hog by a French Master
Butcher right here in L.A. is a an amazing opportunity for any serious
foodie!
ARRIVE A FEW MINUTES EARLY:
Please arrive early to “suit-up.” This is our store's private
kitchen, County Health Approved, so we will ask you to wear a smock
and apron--just as if you were working in our butchery!
