The Sustainable Kitchen: Wood Fired Pizza

This is a cooking class taught in person by the Conservatory’s Sustainability Educator, Heather Bell. As with all of the classes in The Sustainable Kitchen series, Heather will talk about sustainability in the kitchen and the small steps you can take to help the planet as she teaches you to cook something delicious.

Learn how to make Neapolitan pizza dough that is thin in the center with an airy, soft outter crust. You’ll learn to make a quick tomato sauce for the pizzas, which we’ll top with fresh mozzarella and vegetables, including some vegetables you may not expect on American pizza. Then, we’ll cook the pizzas in the wood fire pizza oven at our Live Fire Theater. Enjoy your customized hearth-baked pizza with a simple salad and a glass of wine.

Instructor: Heather Bell Heather Bell is the Sustainability and Culinary Educator at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Her degree is in Environment, Economy, Development, & Sustainability from OSU. While that's her first love, cooking and baking are her second. She started learning from the best: her great-grandmother. When she was 5 years old she baked her first apple pie and hasn’t stopped experimenting and learning. You’re invited to take a class with Heather where she’ll share her tips on adding that “chefy” spin to a meal with a touch of sustainability.
