IDEAS for Cooking Classes: Fall 2011

  1. Knife skills and basic cooking techniques: Sauté, Grill/Broil, Roast, Fry, Steam and Braise/Stew
  2. Sauces: How to make the 5 classical French “Mother” sauces and modern type healthy sauces.
  3. Protein cooking classes: Various types of center of the plate proteins and how to cook them: (3A)Four legged proteins: Beef, Pork, Lamb (3B) Two legged proteins: Chicken, Duck and Turkey (3C)No-legged (sort of) proteins: finfish and shellfish. Each of these would really need to be a separate class to do justice to each protein group/type.
  4. Starch cookery: The art and science of cooking starches: Potatoes, pastas, rice and grains
  5. Vegetable cookery: (Again) The art and science of vegetable cookery and vegetable entrees
  6. Dorm cooking that’s not fast food junk.
  7. The art of Healthy cooking – Good tasting food without the fat and calories
  8. Spices and seasoning foods from around the world.
  9. Date Dinner – A simple but elegant three course dinner to impress your date and have them thinking you really know how to cook! What a catch!
  10. The pastry class is a little more complicated, but we could have some simple fun with purchased puff pastry.
