Cooking class

August 14, 2011

For our anniversary, I suggested we take a cooking class in the city. We ended up in the “road trip” course at the Institute of Culinary Education and had a great time.

The course was selections from a variety of road trip destinations: Fish tacos from San Diego, lobster rolls from Maine, shrimp and grits from New Orleans, and even gooey butter cake from St. Louis. The instructor split the class into 3 sections and ours quickly went to work on shrimp and grits, hush puppies and lobster rolls. (Yep, finally killed a lobster in boiling water. Sorry, little guy.)

We sampled dishes throughout the class and had a feast at the end. We took home some great recipes (I’ve already made the shrimp and grits again) and really enjoyed the class.
