  Knife Skills June 8, 2013

  I've been here several times for different classes. Both Chef Paul and Chef Manny are really great teachers. I admit, it can be pricey but it's cheap as far as cooking classes go. Plus, if you sign up for their email list you get notified when they have specials. I would recommend starting out with the knife skills class and buy the knife! You learn how to hold your knife properly (sounds dumb, but it's important) and all the different cutting techniques. You also learn to cut up a whole chicken - extremely helpful. The sauces class taught me how to properly make an amazing hollandaise sauce. The one-hour meal classes are really fun. A great idea for a first date or just something different to do. AND it's BYOB...just not for the knife skills class. I am looking forward to the grilling classes this summer :)

  Pasta Making March 3, 2013

  Chef Paul...the butcher, the baker and the pasta maker. Or sushi maker, or pizza maker or knife skills guru.
  
  Super fun date night! Definitely a great option for friends or couples that want an experience instead of another dinner out. First time taking a cooking class and it was really fun! No experience needed for the pasta making class. We made homemade gnocchi and ate it right away. Then we made linguine or spaghetti to take home.
  
  I do remember Chef Paul instructing us to put the linguine on a hanger when we got home. Oops! Too much fun and excitement over making perfect gnocchi (or maybe it was the wine...you can BYOB here), but I forgot. So tonight for dinner I made "lumpy linguine". It was pretty stuck together in the baggie that we brought it home in. Still tasty though!
  
  Lots of two-seater counter/work surfaces set up around Chef Paul's demo table complete with video to project a close up view of anything he is chopping/cooking onto the screen. 16 to 20 ish people in a class. Really want to check out the knife skills class at Cooking Skills Academy. Has anyone taken that yet? I am a little worried that I might need a smaller class for that one.
  
  Leave your rings and watch at home. You don't knead doughy jewelry...oh, need doughy jewelry. ;)
  
  P.S. Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands.
