Knowing how to use knives skillfully is the foundation of all cooking, and doesn't have to be scary or frustrating. Many home and even professional cooks don't always wield a knife correctly, which increases food preparation time and makes the process harder and less safe than it should be. In this indispensable class, you and your partner will learn how to slice, dice and chop in the safest and most efficient manner as you prepare a menu of: plantain chips with mango-jalapeño salsa; guacamole with tortilla chips; and sangria.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

The Festival of Lights celebrates the oil that burned for eight long nights. This enabled the Maccabees to find more oil after the battle when the amount that they had should have burned for one day. Fried foods are traditionally the focus of the feast. Latkes and Sufganiyot (deep-fried jelly doughnuts) are always on the menu. In this class, you will learn to make classic potato latkes; hard cider apple sauce; herbed sour cream and sufganiyot.
While paella may be Spain's most well-known dish, the country has so much more to explore. It’s a culinary dream-spot for trying new flavors and combinations of ingredients. This class will help you discover new favorites, including stuffed piquillo peppers; pan con tomate; grilled shrimp with Romesco sauce; pork marinated in pomegranate and a watercress salad.
These desserts are perfect for winter, not just because of their wintry flavors of ginger, peppermint and more, but because of their clever use of fruits that are easily available in winter. And, naturally, you can't forget the chocolate. We'll make: peppermint chocolate truffles; gingerbread cake with chai-spiced frosting; and cranberry and pear crisp.
