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.
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.
Writeup: Chicken With Chicken Sauce 2
Sunday, October 27, 2013 – This week is round two of Chicken With Chicken Sauce. This time, I took the sauce up a notch and made a different sauce, one made with a roux.
Writeup: Chicken With Chicken Sauce
Saturday, October 19, 2013 – This week’s episode of cooking class was about pan sauces. And the pan-roasting technique served me well last week. And is required to make a pan sauce. So I decided it was time to make Chicken With Chicken Sauce.
Writeup: Salmon and Risotto
Saturday, October 12, 2013 – This week’s cooking class was about saute’ing and for some reason risotto. So I decided to make a pan-roasted salmon on a bed of shiitake mushroom risotto. Because shiitake mushrooms are awesome.
Writeup: London Broil (grilled steak)
October 5-6, 2013 – This week’s cooking class was about grilling, so I decided to grill some meat this weekend. We did a London broil in class, so I also did a London broil at home. Except we grilled it. So I guess it’s a London grill. And except we’re in Seattle, so I guess that makes it a Seattle grill. Which I’m pretty sure is also the name of a restaurant.
