Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this cooking techniques class:

Join us for our new series, Cook the Book, where you will learn how to prepare recipes from a different cookbook each month in our very own kitchen. These classes will give you the opportunity to dive into the cuisines, flavors, methods and techniques of well-known cookbooks, both locally and nationally, that are dear to our hearts and inspire our culinary point of views. 

This month we are featuring Smitten Kitchen Every Day: Triumphant and Unfussy New Favorites. In Smitten Kitchen, Deb Perelman's recipes will make you want to stop what you’re doing right now and cook. The recipes are for real people—people with busy lives who don’t want to sacrifice flavor or quality.

Deb Perelman, award-winning blogger and New York Times best-selling author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, understands that a happy discovery in the kitchen has the ability to completely change the course of your day. Whether we’re cooking for ourselves, for a date night in, for a Sunday supper with friends, or for family on a busy weeknight, we all want recipes that are unfussy to make with triumphant results. Smitten Kitchen Every Day presents more than one hundred impossible-to-resist recipes—almost all of them brand-new, plus a few favorites from her website—recipes that you'll want to put in your forever files. Written with Deb’s trademark humor and gorgeously illustrated with her own photographs, Smitten Kitchen Every Day is filled with what are sure to be your new favorite things to cook.

In this hands-on class, your Chopping Block chef instructor will guide you through the ingredients and techniques in order to bring the ingeniously creative yet accessible recipes of Smitten Kitchen to life.

Recipes featured in class include:

  • Kale Caesar with Broken Eggs and Crushed Croutons
  • Brick Hens with Charred Lemon
  • Zucchini-Stuffed Zucchini with Sorta Salsa Verde
  • Caramelized Plum Tartlets

Note: Printed copies of the recipes will be provided in class.

Due to the layout of our kitchens and in consideration of your classmates, students will work in groups of 3 to 5 people. Parties of 6 or more will be directed to our private events department so we can accommodate them appropriately.
