Last Thursday 2 girl friends and I headed down to The Westchester Mall to take a cooking class at Sur La Table. I really had no idea what to expect but we were all so excited to be kid-free and had a couple glasses of wine before and showed up to class ready to Bobby Flay it up!
Once we got there we were greeted by Chef Ali Banks and her staff. They were incredibly friendly and showed up to our individual chairs that had our own aprons and name tags.
Pretty soon the room was filled with women and we were ready to cook! There was a beautiful array of cutlery, cookware, gadgets and food. There were moments when we would just look at each other and laugh because the chef would tell us to grab a utensil and we had no idea what it was... mandolin? LOL. Well now we know.
We made Zucchini Fritters with Lemon Basil Cream, Moroccan Chicken Skewers with Herb Sauce, White Bean and Pancetta Bruschetta with Rosemary but my favorite was the Butternut Squash and Stilton Tart. It was INSANELY DELICIOUS. We had a night of laughter, met new women and learned new recipes to bring home and impress the boys with.
Chef Ali made everything really easy to learn as well as fun. She is such a sweet person and I cannot recommend her classes enough. You also get 15% off your purchase for taking the class and we made the most of that during our break. Check out the pictures attached (my friends and I can't take serious pictures sorry!).
The next GNO is October 3rd, so grab some girlfriends, your mom and/or sister and sign up!
