All I wanted this year for Christmas was to take a cooking class with my boyfriend. My wish was granted and my dad sent us on our way. I really wanted to learn to cook food that would be easy but that I am not comfortable/confident in cooking without instruction. We picked a seafood grilling class. We grilled potatoes, romaine lettuce, shrimp, scallops and salmon. I always get nervous with seafood because it only takes what seems to be seconds to cook. Nobody wants undercooked or overcooked seafood!
I have to say that I would have liked to do a little more of making sauces independently. We were paired with another couple but as a class they have you make the sauces so you are not doing a separate sauce for each grouping. Some of the class you just watch someone add ingredients to a food chopper or blender. We did get to grill most of the stuff on our own (excluding the scallops that went on a salt block). Our instructor made our class fun and she was very helpful. I feel much more confident grilling/cooking seafood now that I know what to look for in coloring. We got a decent amount of food and I was full by the end of the class. You also receive a booklet with all the recipes so you can go home and make everything yourself.
Note: It's not listed on their website but you can bring your wine to the class. They supply you with glasses and a corkscrew.
