ACE Class Cooking
Basics Classes Conclude
I
recently concluded 2 Cooking Basics classes at the Plum Center. Pictured above is a student’s full menu from
Session 3 – Orange Couscous Salad, Salisbury Steak with Onions, Roasted Lemon
Thyme Carrots, and Lemon Olive Oil Pound Cake.
One
class followed the usual format, once session a week for 3 weeks. The other, entitled Cooking Basics for Young
Adults, was given on three consecutive nights.
This is the second summer I have taught this class, and once again it
was a lot of fun. The target audience is
recent high school and college graduates who want to up their cooking game, but
of course it is open to anyone.
Tilapia Meuniere –
Quick Weeknight Dinners International
This
three session class begins on Thursday evening September 21. For the first session I decided to do French
recipes, and what better way to start than with Sole Meuniere, the iconic
French dish that got Julia Child started on her culinary career. However, Filet of Sole is both hard to find
and quite expensive, so I looked for an alternative. A Google search turned up quite a few recipes
which suggested Tilapia as an alternative, so I tried it twice. The recipe is basically the same as with
Sole, using butter, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley. A big difference is the cooking time. As Sole filets are quite thin, they only need
a minute or 2 in the hot butter.
However, the Tilapia is thick and can require up to 5 minutes per side
to fully cook.
