  Looking for a few new ideas for a holiday meal to serve to families and friends? Wanting recipes that are easy to prepare, inspire creative variation, and garner enthusiastic compliments from your guests? Madison Suoja, Education and Outreach Specialist from the Davis Co-op, will share her grandmother’s recipe for a no-fail pie crust and demonstrate how one batch of crust will serve as the foundation for delicious appetizers, entrées and desserts. We will have the recipes and list of ingredients in hand as we watch Madison via Zoom lead us through the preparation of three courses, plus an extra delicacy. Madison will respond to our questions and comments throughout the class and suggest how we can change up each recipe to make it our own creation. Attendees will have access to the taped demonstration and will be able to view it at their leisure. Join us to share in a fun and informative cooking class. Please contact Myra Appel, 530-902-3392 (mlappel@comcast.net).

    At Home and on Zoom

   University Farm Circle invites you to join your UFC sisters in our cherished traditional Candlelight Dinner, “Candlelight at Home for the Holidays.” This year’s dinner will be different, but still allow us to gather in spirit to support students in need at UCD and to enjoy a delicious gourmet-quality meal in the process.

  Dinner will be catered by Michelin-trained restaurateurs Michael and Cynthia Raub of Pannier Foods. Orders and choices are in the December 2020 newsletter (access to newsletter open only to paid members). Drive-through pickup will be in the afternoon at the Odd Fellows Lodge parking lot. Later, the delightful Albertson Duo will livestream a concert just for us from their Sacramento studio. 
  

  We request that you open your hearts this year and make an especially generous
  donation of non-perishable food for the UCD Food Pantry when you pick up your dinners. As we are all aware, this has been a difficult year for many and food insecurity among students is a sad reality.

  Reservation deadline: Tuesday, December 1, 2020
