In this essential and tasty class with instructor Sue Gonsalves, we'll focus on basic cooking techniques that will serve you for a lifetime: making a vinaigrette, building a classic tomato sauce, making rice, searing chicken, plus a classic pan sauce and making a mousse. You'll be rewarded in your efforts at the end of the class, when we sit down to an excellent meal of: simple salad with Dijon-shallot vinaigrette; fettuccine with tomato-basil sauce; herb rice pilaf; sautéed spinach; pan-seared chicken breast with a classic pan sauce; and simple chocolate mousse.
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.

From the Portuguese-influenced cuisine of Goa to the wonderful sweets of Bengal, Indian cuisine has multiple regional variations, and is generally characterized by perfect spice and flavor combinations. You will learn to identify these spices, along with shopping and storing tips, and will make a masala spice blend. Your menu is vegetarian and will consist of: pakora; cilantro-coconut chutney; goobi (cauliflower) tikka masala; saag paneer and pulao (rice pilaf ).
These dishes capture the flavors and techniques of so many exciting, flavor-forward global cuisines. Spanning the gamut from Mexico to the Middle East, these small but satisfying plates are perfect for parties --- or collect them all to make a masterful (and entirely vegan) meal. We'll create and then feast on: Egyptian baba ghanoush and hummus; Argentinian hearts of palm, tomato and avocado salad; Italian roasted cauliflower with capers; and Balinese chili-grilled tempeh skewers.
Today's best French cooking combines time-tested techniques with classic French ingredients in modern flavor combinations. We’ll put all of these principles into practice as we assemble a banquet par excellence, consisting of: escargot (snails); bass vierge; rack of lamb Persillade; and sautéed carrots with quatre épices.
