Chris has always loved cooking so when it came to picking out a gift for him I thought taking a cooking class would be super fun.

I booked this class online at Sur La Table in the Ridge Hill shopping center. The class was about 2 hours and 30 mins long, which flies by once you start chopping away.

The first thing on our menu was

• Tuna and Avocado Ceviche with Plantain Chips

Next was:

• Roasted Corn Salad with Chile, Lime, and Cotija Cheese (which was my favorite!)

The main dish:

• Char-Grilled Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

 Last was the dessert:

• Mayan-Spiced Chocolate Pudding With Whipped Cream

Our Teacher Jessica Woodford was filled with information and eager to help us and she also made it fun, light and funny.

At the end of the class, your group (groups of 4) gets to eat everything you just made, which is probably the best part of the whole thing!

The whole experience was so fun, you get to meet new people and learn hands-on from a chef. Most importantly, you get to bond with whoever you go with. Chris and I had a great time laughing and working together to make a great meal. We’re already looking forward to more classes, maybe baking but that might be a disaster, haha!

Have you ever been to a cooking class?? What did you make?
