These genius sheet pan and skillet dinners make a complete, delicious, well-balanced meal --- with only one pan to clean at the end of the night. Each and every recipe in this class makes a delicious, wholesome meal that includes a good mix of protein, vegetables and carbs, in just one sheet pan or skillet. The key to cooking a complete meal in one pan is to not just throw everything together; you need to assemble in stages, so that each element cooks to just the right degree of doneness, maintaining its own inherently good flavor and texture. We'll make: Peruvian chicken with aji verde; purple potatoes and Brussels sprouts; crisp-skinned salmon on tomato-jalapeño jam with zucchini couscous; one-skillet hearty rigatoni Bolognese; Greek shrimp with potatoes and broccoli; gochujang skirt steak with scallion polenta and cauliflower; and Dubliner and tomato-stuffed chicken breasts with zucchini sticks and potato coins. The class includes a signed copy of the book "Hero Dinners," coauthored by your chef-instructor, Marge Perry.
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.
