The rundown: There's a small seasonal window in Northern California when there isn't much you can do with your outdoor garden. Welcome to those 15 minutes. On the upside, this Sunday you can take a workshop in Berkeley on how to turn your winter kitchen into a cauldron of life. At a class co-taught by do-it-yourself apostle Vanessa Barrington , you'll learn how to refine the tiny art of sprouting, as well as gaining mastery over live dairy cultures (crème fraîche, anyone?) As a bonus, she'll teach you how to make your own sourdough starter, one of the nine basic steps towards gaining your DIY black belt.
