I taught a class featuring easy French cuisine and one student in particular, Andy was nice enough to write me an email telling me what he thought about the class. He also sent me pics from his recreations of my recipes at home. I thought it would be nice to share it with all of you. This is his email with pictures below: [...]
This entry is a bit overdue, but I was busy being a bridesmaid over in New Jersey and on top of that, I recently sprained my arm and it’s in a sling. So I’m typing this entry very slowly with my left hand. This unfortunately means I won’t be able to have my cooking class this month (September), but that just means I’ll be more pumped for October!
Joe forgot to take pictures of the food, but I taught the attentive class how to make French-influenced ravioli, crepes and beef bourguignon. [...]
Our fabulous jewelery designer-friend, Easter Ahn-Lee opted to take a private group class with her husband, John and 8 of their friends. I gave them a choice of 3 different classes they could take, but they chose to take “Pasta! Pasta!” This was good for me b/c the hard prep-work was already done from the first class I had in June. The recipes were basically the same as my first class, but the interaction and experience as a whole was pretty different. [...]
Well it’s been a while since updating, but that’s cuz I’ve been busy! Word got around that I was running cooking classes and Pastor Peter from our church asked me if I could teach a class in the church kitchen, as a summer activity. I’ve been wanting an outlet to serve so I said yes and it turned out to be a lot of fun. I required everyone to bring their own cutting board and sharp chef’s knife, and I of course provided the rest. We did about 4 different recipes reflecting the tastes of summer, focusing on fresh fragrant herbs, tomatoes, bright colors and light eating. [...]
The class was so much fun!!! Joe (who was the camera guy for the night) and I launched our first cooking class in California called, Pasta! Pasta! I started out feeling really nervous, and I was completely flustered as people started trickling in, but when I received feedback at the end of the class, many people commented that I seemed at ease and natural… wow, really? I owe that to my former job working at Whole Foods as a demonstration chef! The class overall went pretty much how I thought it would, but I didn’t think I had the ability to entertain the crowd as much as I did! I even got in a few laughs. One thing I knew that I’d do was teach them much more than they thought they’d initially walk in to learn. [...]
