Receta Do It Yourself Food at Cook & Go Culinary Studios
By: Finance Foodie
Since I've improved my cooking skills dramatically over the last year, I thought it would be good idea if the Mister started learning the difference between "diced" and "slivered". Therefore, we found ourselves at the Cook & Go Culinary Studios last Friday night. Cook & Go is a cooking studio in West Chelsea that offers various cooking classes, which rotate monthly, designed to prepare a single serving of a multi-course meal. Participants choose which meal they want to learn/cook (theme menus range from "TV Dinner" to "Healthy Holiday"), cook these original recipes with the instructors, and then take the finished dishes home to eat.
Crab Cake
The sweet potato croquettes were also pretty simple - the hardest part was stopping myself from taking a bite (I was getting hungry!). Luckily, a round of eggnog was passed around to help whet my appetite (and cloud my sense).
Croquettes
The main course was a foil baked tilapia with lime zest, onions, tomatoes and herbs. Since we only had pairing knives, it was sorta difficult to properly make lime zests without risking a gashed finger. Also at this point, the alcohol combined with my empty stomach had set in - my focus on chopping was waning so my "evenly diced" tomatoes and onions were more like "large uneven chunks".Oops.
Tilapia
The last course was dessert - a panna cotta flavored with cinnamon, lime and coconut. This wasn't a cooked dish - basically the panna cotta just sets in the fridge for an hour to gelatinize.
