I felt so exhilarated and excited to be in my kitchen after my first cooking class. Upon leaving, I immediately called Conor to gush thank-yous for this fabulous Christmas gift. I have the best husband ever. The cooking class was so much fun! From the beginning to the end, it was awesome. The class serves 2 wines and since I don’t drink, I was kind of sweating saying no and what kind of reaction would come with that. I know sometimes not drinking makes those who are feel uncomfortable. However, the chef handled everything in the best way and we continued on. I feel like I learned so much and Chef John’s passion for cooking was ever apparent.
Our grand finale meal was omelettes, blanched veggies with aioli (mayonnaise sauce with garlic) and shrimp cooked in vegetable stock. For dessert, french meringue nests with macerated fruit and creme anglaise. To toot my own horn, my omelette was perfectly colourless and my partner and I were praised by the chef because our mayonnaise had excellent flavour.
Conor and I have both looked into the cost and commitment of taking this to the next level. I love it that much.
