Instructor: Nora Dummer
Class Type: Hands-On! | These are our most involved and participatory classes, where you get the opportunity to learn a hands-on skill. Anyone can do it, though--no prior experience required to attend!
WHAT YOU'LL GET IN THIS CLASS:
- Chef-led cooking demonstration
- Hands on experience developing knife skills, cooking, and learning the fundamentals of cooking
- Prepare a dinner from scratch that you will enjoy with a beverage at the end of class
- Take-home notes and recipe
- Some lasting memories!
Join Chef Nora in this interactive class, where we will explore the relationships between salt, acid, fat, and heat and learn how to turn simple dishes into stunning ones. Nora will teach you how to cook intuitively by understanding how salt, fat, acid, and heat change the flavor of foods and improve your intuition as a cook. We'll also cover some basic knife skills and cuts as we slice, stir, and sauté our way to dinner. Along the way, you'll also learn some elementary food science that will make you a smarter (and better) cook. Whether you're a seasoned cook looking to brush up on the basics or a novice with a tenuous grasp on how to boil water, your taste buds will be your guide in this fun fundamentals class.
