Fun in Class

My recent cooking classes have all been a lot of fun. So much fun in fact, that I can’t help but think about culinary school as a future option. It’s really enjoybale learning more about something I like. Cooking class never seems tedious (unlike several college classes I’ve taken) and can be incredibly eye opening at times. It’s always fun and interesting to me to be introduced to new ways of manipulating many of the foods we think we are so familiar with, and finding combinations that are both comforting and brand new at the same time.

I took a class on “steak and eggs” this past Saturday with the Ideas in Food team and really had an amazing time. Not only was it a very small class (only four people) but it was very hands on. We also were exposed to a lot of different techniques that we normally wouldn’t be able to employ in our home kitchens. While a lot of amateur classes taken through cooking schools are for people who might be interested in cooking and would like to have some recipes, this class was more about exchanging ideas and inspiring the students to be able to create on their own. It was really a treat.

By the time I headed back to Manhattan I was so happy and full that I passed out on the train for the first time since High School. The pork and apples is as good as it looks in the picture. I look forward to the pasta class I’m taking with them next month.
