Let's Cook!!

We are taking a slight detour from baby for this post, and that is a-okay. Last Friday night Tyler and I went to a cooking class at Allen & Peterson, a home appliance store. The cooking classes are actually put on by Viking, an up-scale appliance manufacturer. They offer a variety of classes for adults, teens and children in most big cities throughout the US. I would highly suggest looking to see if there is a cooking school near you ... we had the best time!

We went for "Date Night: Dinner for Two." There were five couples in our class, and we all worked together to complete an incredible meal.

Our Menu:

• Glazed Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp
• Mixed Salad Greens with Candied Apple Slices, Pistachios and Mini Grilled Brie Sandwiches
• Chateaubriand (a beef tenderloin)
• Bearnaise Sauce
• Broccoli Boursin Gratins
• Chocolate Creme Brulee with Fresh Raspberries

And it was all just as good as it sounds. We took a few pictures, but it was hard to take in the information, help cook and take pictures so we don't have too many. Seriously .. find a class near you and go. The experience was just so fun!

Aprons on ... ready to cook!

Turning on the torch for Creme Brulee.

Torching the Brulee

Tyler and Fire ... his favorite combination!

Still torching. We did one thin coat of sugar, torched it and then repeated twice.

Us.

Our super easy and wonderful salad and grilled cheese. There was SO MUCH food to eat, I couldn't finish all of mine, but that's okay. This is the only course I took a picture of (on accident), but mainly because I was starving. Everything was delicious!!
