It hasn’t actually happened yet, but I’m using this post to brainstorm ideas and figure out what I want to make, and to record these thoughts for posterity.
Tomato Pesto Fettuccine with Seared Steak
Saturday, December 21, 2013 – This week’s episode of cooking class was about pasta. I’ve actually taken this class before, and last time we had a recipe for sun-dried tomato pesto, which was awesome. So I set out to recreate it.
Garlic Spicy Shrimp
Saturday, December 14, 2013 – This week’s episode of cooking class was about seafood. So I pulled the garlic spicy shrimp recipe from the packet and made that for dinner.
Deep-Fried Fish
Monday, December 9, 2013 – This week’s episode of cooking class was about fish. Incidentally, all the classes about cooking techniques were front-loaded. Most of the later classes are about ingredients. So I was trying to find a fish dish that I could do to learn a new cooking technique. So I decided it was time to deep fry something.
Cake Pops
It all started on
Saturday, November 23, 2013 – When Tara ran her Cake Pop class. And I learned how to make cake pops. And got to decorate some cake pops at the school.
Omelets
Saturday, November 16, 2013 – So why is this the first writeup that doesn’t start with a photo? Well, this week’s episode of cooking class was about eggs. And I decided I wanted to make an omelet. Except I have an induction range. Which means all of my cookware is stainless steel. And apparently, eggs on stainless steel is difficult.
Grilled Lettuce Salad
Sunday, November 10, 2013 – This week’s episode of cooking class was about braising. But I already made a beef bourguignon months ago. So I decided to make an appetizer instead.
Roasted Potatoes
Sunday, November 3, 2013 – This week’s cooking class was about roasting. The main course was roasting a chicken. Except I started my cooking days 5 years ago by roasting a turkey. So this year for Thanksgiving, I was just going to do potatoes instead. Hence, roasted potatoes.
