I will be giving 2 classes this week, the final session of Cooking Basics 101 at Herndon High School and the first session of Cooking Basics 101 at the Plum Center. I will also be discussing the dish I made last Saturday while following along with a live cooking show.
Cooking-Live.com Live Cook Along Show
The above picture shows what we made in the show, Beef Stew
with a side of Sautéed Brussels sprouts, which were first blanched then
finished in a skillet. The dessert was
tiramisu. The show is presented by renowned
French chef Patrice Olivon on Cooking-Live.com from 4 to 6 PM n Saturdays. The cost is $20.00. Before the class you receive an equipment and
ingredients list, so you can get your mise en place all set before the show
starts. It was a lot of fun, and the
meal was delicious. I look forward to
the next show.
Cooking Basics 101 at
Herndon High School – Session 3
Our third and final session will be this Thursday evening,
February 11. This week we will be making
heavy use of the oven. We will be baking
for the first time, making a Lemon Olive Oil Pound Cake. Our vegetable dish will be Broiled Zucchini
with Tomatoes, and our main course will be Salisbury Steak with onions. For this dish, we will start it on the stove
top, then finish it in the oven.
Cooking Basics 101 at
the Plum Center – Session 1
This three session class meets on Fridays February 12, 19,
and 26 at Herndon High School at 6:30 pm at the Plum Center on Edsall Road in Springfield. For the first night we will be making a meal
of Caprese Salad, Fried Chicken Italiano with Blanched Asparagus, and a no bake
dessert, Blueberry Ricotta Parfait.
Future entrees will include fish and beef.
One of the basics we will be covering in class is knife
skills. The January/February issue of
Food Network Magazine has an excellent article on basic skills and cuts,
including the ones we will be covering in class. Here is the link to the article.
