Beginning tonight, Darleen Randall from Dine by Design is offering cooking classes to the Gainesville community. She didn't attend a prestigious culinary school, but who cares? Darleen completed some basic courses, and she has hands-on experience running her own catering company. With all that, I think the lady knows what she's doing.
From 6 p.m to 8 p.m. tonight students will learn how to make the "Five Mother Sauces" that are a base to any good French dish. The class is completely full, but here are the details of some upcoming classes that are sure to make your mouth water. I definitely think I'm going to sign up for the Valentine's Day couples cooking-- even if I don't have a valentine that food just sounds too good to miss!
February 11: Basic Knife Skills $35
A basic understanding of classic knife cuts including slicing, dicing, julienne, and chiffonade, and knife care.
February 12: Valentine's Friday Date Night
$60 per couple
The menu for our traditional Romantic Valentine's Day Cooking Class:
~ Mango Chopped Salad
~ Honey-peppered Salmon over a bed of Strawberry Pasta
~ Lemon Asparagus
~ Chocolate Lava Cakes with Coffee Ice Cream
An appetizer will be prepared in advance for the guests to enjoy before dinner is prepared. Students will sit at linen-covered tables, and use china and crystal. Feel free to bring a bottle of wine.
February 13: Valentine's Saturday Date Night
$60 per couple
The menu for this non-traditional Valentine's Day menu has not yet been finalized but it will be a delicious evening of Asian Cuisine.
