SUMMARY:Cooking For Real Life: Class #2
DESCRIPTION:Cooking For Real Life: Class #2\nAt the 2nd Session of Cooking for Real Life\, we’ll explore the delicious world of Pastas and Sauces. With simple techniques of pasta cookery\, and easy formulas for delicious sauces\, you’ll make ‘Pasta Night’ will become on the favorite evening of the week! \nIn small groups we’ll create the following recipes: \n\nOne-Pot Macaroni Gratin with Gruyere (Demonstration)\n30-Minute Ragu Bolognese\nPasta Primavera with Light Alfredo Sauce\n\n\nOnce all the pastas are ready\, we’ll enjoy the fruits of our labor with wine\, salad\, and Fresh baked bread to sop up all the deliciousness! Then take home extra sauce and pasta for meals later in the week! \nFor many individuals\, cooking is enjoyable\, but can also be challenging. Sometimes you don’t have patience for time-consuming\, finicky recipes\, don’t have the time to plan out meals in advance\, or are timid to try new recipes or techniques…But as Epicureans\, we have standards\, and still require something satisfying for dinner each night. \nSo to assist with this conundrum\, ESB is offering a series of 3 cooking classes\, led by Chef Amy\, which are designed to transform you into a culinary god or goddess! Ok\, not quite; BUT what the series intends to do is to give you the knowledge\, training\, and chef’s insight to enhance your home cooking. With reliable delicious recipes\, professional tips\, a constant flow of advice\, shortcuts\, and guidance throughout the cooking process\, it’s like Culinary school\, but without the french accents\, constant battle call of “Yes Chef!”\, and hour of dishwashing. \nIn each class\, you’ll work in groups of up to four participants to create 3-4 different dishes\, while learning proper techniques\, efficient practices\, and allowing for some creativity. After a group meal\, dishes will be equally divided among the teams so everyone leaves with a variety of meals for the week! You’ll leave with valuable cooking tips used by chefs in restaurants and in catering\, as well tricks for quick meal prep\, and creative ways to cook dishes without the need for a recipe; whether they be casual weeknight meals in 30 minutes\, or something a little more special for company and friends. \nExpect to learn: \n\nEasy\, (and nourishing) meals that don’t require complicated techniques or endless measurements\nEfficient cooking methods that maximize flavor and limit dishes and unnecessary work\n Recipes that can be templates for future meals – allowing you to personalize meals while being creative and resourceful (i.e. use what you have in your kitchen and pantry!)\nHow to balance “from-scratch” cooking with smart shortcuts for quick\, well-executed dishes\n\nWe’ll start with a brief instructional review of the dishes; with demonstrations when needed\, and then and then off you go! \nThese sessions are all about strengthening your home culinary skills and becoming more confident in the kitchen. No need to overthink it—Let’s just make some food and have fun! \nMenu to Come!
