I'm having fun exploring food events, so classes are next on the list of things to sample. I'm thinking I'll sign up for two different one-off classes at two different venues in the spring. I've just committed to doing an introduction to working with chocolate class. So the question is... what should the other class be?
I'm considering a number of options and am quite willing to take other peoples' opionions into consideration. Choose what you'd want me to cook for you, what you think would best expand my cooking skills, or leave me a comment on the subject - even if it's to tell me that classes are a waste of time. I've never done a cooking class. It'll be an adventure.
Read elsewhere:
"Small, independent wineries had their day in court today, in fact before the Supreme Court, trying to over turn regulations that ban the shipping of wine between certain states. Currently 24 states ban the interstate shipping of wine, 5 make it a felony offense."
"As a translator, I would never render "j'ai d'autres chats à fouetter" as "I have other cats to whip," because we don't whip cats in English; we fry fish."

In other news, I didn't go to PP today as I threatened - I got Green Mango instead. Still wanna go after the talk tomorrow?
That's not really an answer to your question but a commentary. If you'd been able to vote for several, which others would you have chosen?
Sauces: Because sauces can liven up anything from meat to veggies, making hated foods palatable. I think using sauces correctly makes you look very sophisticated. Also, if you learn to cook them correctly, you can control the ingredients properly and stop sauces from becoming calorie-fests.
Knife Skills: Not sure what it might entail, but it sounds useful.
In the end, I choose Thai food, because the harmony of flavours, textures, and spices is always pleasing to me, and I think a cooking class like that would be fun. And, yes, going to France is certainly more likely than Thailand, given your geographical location...although this did not enter into my voting decision. :-)
Anyway, my $.02.
But to learn boring skills is not really the best reason to take a cooking class. Ideally, it should just be a totally fun experience, where you get to watch someone else make great food, that you get to eat at the end of two hours.
One advantage of the sauce workshop (and the brunch one) is that the venue is a five-minute walk from where I live. The sauce workshop might take 2 days, but it's extraordinarily convenient.
