Biking and Restaurants on Cape Cod; Next A.C.E. Cooking Class – Italian Desserts; Cooking Basics 101 Concludes.

Post Date: 2 November 2017

 

Last week my friends and I did our annual biking trip, this year on Cape Cod, and I wanted to share some information about some of the great places we ate at.  Pictured above is the Talkative Pig in South Chatham. This was an excellent casual dining place (all of the places were visited were actually) with a mostly Italian Menu.  I had a mushroom risotto with a chicken breast on top, which was wonderful, but of the locals seemed to be ordering pizza.  After the meal we asked our server for a recommendation for breakfast and were directed to the Chatham Airport for a great breakfast at a place called Hangar B.  They had Lemon Ricotta Pancakes on the menu, and since I make them in one of my breakfast classes, I ordered them and was not disappointed.  When leaving I spoke to the chef and he gave me some tips on making them better.

 

While in Chatham we also ate at the Long Shore Restaurant for dinner and Larry’s PX for breakfast, both of which seem to be popular with local residents with great food at reasonable prices.

 

 

ACE Class Cooking Basics 101 Concludes

 

 

This class ended on Sunday, October 29. Pictured above is an Orange Couscous Salad we made Sunday in the final session.  The first 2 sessions we mad no bake desserts with Italian cheeses, Ricotta and Marscapone, but in the last class we baked min Lemon Olive Oil Pound Cakes.  Our main course was Salisbury Steak, started on the stove top and finished in the oven.  While it was finishing we used the pan to make a reduction sauce with Beef Broth and Onions.  Our vegetable was Broiled Zucchini.
