Cured: Cooking Demo with Steve McHugh
2:30 PM - 3:15 PM
Saturday, November 16
Central Market Cooking Tent
Informed by a philosophy of restoring and sustaining pleasure, which San Antonio–based Steve McHugh became particularly interested in after a battle with lymphoma at age 33, Cured: Cooking with Ferments, Pickles, Preserves & More is designed as a preservation of everyday joy via food. In this narrative cookbook, ingredients are sourced at their peak and then transformed through pickling, fermentation, drying, or curing; basic elements such as ice, acid, and fat are altered to bold, flavorful effect. Whether you’re making from scratch or buying from the store, Cured offers a comprehensive and tender look at cooking with preserves. Warm, rustic photographs add a sense of comfort and delight as you move through simple recipes such as cucumber pickles to those more inventive such as Kimchi Meatloaf. Join six-time James Beard Award-nominee McHugh in this session as he provides a cooking demonstration inspired by his newest cookbook.
