One of the things I've been wanting to do for awhile was take a cooking class. In fact, it's been on my 40 things list. I was even more inspired after seeing the movie "Julie and Julia". So when I was reading in the paper several weeks ago, I found a french cooking class was going to be coming up. My friends Angel and Catherine were both interested in it as well, so we signed up. Turns out, the chef is related to Angel by marriage, and she said it would be a great time.
Chef Drewe is a certified executive chef, and he holds the classes in his own home. On the menu was Beef Bourgignone (Burgundy to those of us who don't speak French), fresh French Bread baguettes, salad, and cupcakes. Chef Drewe's process is to do the cooking, show you how he does it, and provide you with all the recipes, and tips. You can ask questions, take notes, and get right in there and watch him. After it's all finished, you get to sit down to a fabulous meal.
It ended up being one of the most pleasant evenings I've spent in a long time. Drewe is a lot of fun, and we were there with several other people who were really great. And the food was incredible.
