Cooking Class

[JohnT]

Just to share...

Not too far from me is a Michelin rated restaurant called "90 acres". It is located on an estate that once belonged to the king of Morrocco. The scenery is incredable!

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a cooking class hosted by this restaurant. The class was structured as a "cook along with me" type format, so we could get hands on experience.

The menu went as follows..
rosemary/cheese puff pastry appitizer,

Romane Lettuce salad in a french vinegrette topped with a goat cheese crouton,

Hanger Steak, potato croquettes, roasted tomato en cruet, and a neat potato for entree,

Berry torte w/ crem englais for desert.

It was a lot of fun, even if I was the only man there.

Cant wait to cook this for the wife!

I hate classes like that. It's a lonely feeling but I find my self struggling through them. Now to go find one of those around here myself.

I believe there were a couple restuarants around here that offered classes a while ago. It would be interesting, I think.

my mom owned and cooked in her restaurant on burgundy street in New Orleans when i was young. I learned to cook there, and I am very glad I did.
She was an excellent cook. Of course about all she cooked was local cajun foods...Over the last 45 years I have progressed..Most cooking classes I have taken, I could teach the teachers...pretty much like wine making..learn the basics make a few mistakes, perfect what your making.

I did a wine/food course with a local chef. It was really fun, 4 classes in the evenings. On the last class, the chef (and us) prepared a full meal and he provided matching wines for everything. I just happened to bring along several bottles of my wines and he opened them and shared with the entire class.

The chef has since started making his own wine.

That sounds like a great evening.
