In this class, you'll learn that corn is one of the more versatile vegetables out there, which is surprising, considering most of us enjoy it solely in the summertime slathered in butter, salt, and pepper. We'll show you various techniques for getting the most out of this nutty, sweet vegetable, as well as tried and true recipes for transforming corn into memorable dishes. First, you'll follow along as we make Corn and Poblano Chowder and see how a few simple tricks helped us coax satisfying flavor from sweet fresh corn and spicy poblano chiles. If you haven't tried it before, it's time to make spoonbread, a Southern specialty made from a combination of fresh corn and cornmeal, with a texture somewhere on the line between a rich cornbread and a true souffle. Finally, you'll learn a surprising technique for boiling corn, a method so easy you can literally walk away from it while cooking. The trick is...not boiling it at all.
