One of the reasons Europeans are slimmer and healthier than Americans is their love of herbal bitters, which they sip as herbal aperitifs and which help metabolize fats and aid digestion. Loaded with antioxidant herbs and spices from elderberry to cinnamon, bitters are lining the bar at trendy restaurants as an increasingly health-conscious public strives to redefine the Happy Hour. Swedish bitters and Angostura are household names but every country has their favorites. Come taste a few of these elixirs, and make and take home a sample with your choice of herbs and spices to harness herbs’ curative powers. We’ll also try bitters combined with foods, including ice cream, as we talk about the health benefits of specific bitter herbs and spices. Recipes for using bitters in food, drink and daily life included. This class meets on Tuesday so we can gather at a trendy restaurant on an off night. Check the location before booking and come prepared for fun and food. $42 member. $47 non-member, includes $18 for tastings. Day of class: $52/$57. Instructor: Deb Whittaker, Herb Gourmet
