Cooking Class

Nov 19

For my 28th birthday, Joey got me a gift certificate for the New York Wine & Culinary Center in Canandaigua. I had been there with Joe before and I fell in love with the hands-on kitchen and thought it would be fun to take a class there. I looked online and booked a class. It was called Mushroom Madness. The menu items sounded yummy. 

Well, last night I went for my cooking class. My neighbor, Barb, and her daughter came too. I had an absolute blast!!!!!!! The kitchen was gorgeous and the class was full. Amy, my neighbor's daughter, and I were the youngest people there. We were nervous about our lack of culinary experience. Everyone else looked as if they knew what they were doing. Amy and I were partners as well. We worked together on the Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Ragout. It was fun to search around the kitchen for our ingredients and to be held responsible for making the meal taste yummy. 



Amy is a pro


There were three cooking islands, four stations at each island, and two people at each station. After we finished creating our yummy meals with mushrooms, we gathered it all and got to eat it all up. There was beef wellington, mushroom risotto, a mushroom soup, mushroom biscotti, vegetable and mushroom lasagna, portobello mushroom burgers, some other mushroom appetizer, and my yummy pork tenderloin dish. They served us NYS wine as we stuffed our faces with the delicious creations. We even got to take home left overs. Joey munched on some when I got home and was surprised at my special new skills.

What a masterpiece!!

I had a blast and am already looking in to returning to take another class.
