A.C.E. Cooking Basics 101 Class at Herndon High School continues; Quick Weeknight Dinners Class at the Plum Center

Post Date: 31 May 2016

Cooking Basics 101 in Herndon

The third and final session of this session class meets this Thursday evening, June 2, at Herndon High School.  We will be making a lot of use of the oven this week, making Vegetables in Parchment Paper, a Lemon Olive Oil Pound Cake, and Salisbury Steak, which we will start on the stove top and finish in the oven.  Our salad will be a Tuscan White Bean Salad.

Quick Weeknight Dinners

This 3 session class begins on Tuesday evening, June 14, at the Plum Center in Springfield.  I am reluctant to name this class “30 Minute Meals” because it is always hard to put a time limit on preparation as cooks work at different paces and some of the recipes, although “quick,” may take more than 30 minutes.  I usually focus on salads, main courses and vegetables in this class, but the last time I gave it the class asked for some desserts as well, so on the first night we will see how the group wants to proceed for the next 2 sessions.

Date Night Cooking for Novice Cooks - Recap

We had a lot of fun in this class last Friday night.  The main course was Chicken Breast and Vegetables cooked in parchment paper.  The recipe serves as a good introduction to cooking with parchment paper for those not familiar with it.   The picture above is one of the student creations, ready for the oven
