Fish is inherently fast-cooking and healthy --- perfectly suited for a quick midweek meal or a feast with friends. Yet many home cooks lack self-assurance when it comes to making fish. In just one class, you will learn to buy, store and cook seafood with confidence and finesse. Join Marge Perry to learn how to cook moist, tender salmon with a golden, crisp crust; glaze scallops to sweet, tender perfection; braise catfish in a riot of flavor; and more, each of which you can replicate at home in under a half-hour. We'll make: golden seared salmon with Moroccan tomato relish; hoisin glazed scallops; Spanish catfish; blackened swordfish; and shortcut paella.
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.
