Every once in awhile, you stumble on a special cooking class experience and your friend jumps into it with you. This was one of those occasions.
Dish Cooking Studio was well-stocked with kitchen implements and the sous chefs had already prepared the ingredients for us when we arrived.
Celebrity chef David Adjey made his way around to provide instruction and tips.
We were given the opportunity to get hands-on and prepare 3 different meals at our cooking class. I tried my hand at grilling.
The beef was thick, a deep red, marbled with fat, and steamed up on the hot, hot grill pan.
As everything comes together, you order your wine and sit down for mini-meal after mini-meal. It’s all so good.
For one of the dishes, we made Tandoori Salmon with pappadam and vegetables.
Then a fancy Nouveaux Fajitas: tortilla fingers, rubbed chicken, tomatillo (with cilantro), white and black beans with hamhock, with sweet pepper mix.
Finally, the Rib Steak with sweet potato, Swiss chard vegetable mix, and succotash. I’ve never even liked succotash before. This was delicious, and I surprised myself by eating it all.
We had a great time, ate well and didn’t have to clean the dishes. I like cooking classes! They’re fun, too, if you take them with friends.
Over time we’ve been lucky enough to have other girls’ night out cooking classes, cook with Matthew Kennedy and had guest chef David Santos cook for us.
I’ll definitely return to Dish Cooking Studio as this night was memorable.
