Yes folks, the new year is here, and in Chicago anyway, that means we have a few more months to enjoy the bounty from last summer and begin to look forward to spring. Seed catalogues are out this month and many of our farmers are thinking about what and how they want to plant. This means it is time to start thinking about next year’s pantry as you continue to empty the goodies from last year.

The Glass Rooster will be planning some new classes this year and has again partnered with Logan Square Kitchen to make sure that your skill set and confidence level in preserving the freshest that the Midwest has to offer is also at its peak! So this means…. more classes, new class tracks and expanded opportunities for those with special recipes that deserve to be ‘shared’. You may even become that entrepreneur with the latest and greatest flavor that we might find on Chicago’s store shelves!

So get ready my fellow foodies, get in touch, like us on facebook at facebook/theGlassRooster.com and let’s make 2012 a year of new friends, new skills, new opportunities and new beginnings.

To preserving the bounty
