Indian Street Food­Little Plates Big Flavors
Friday September 17, 2010 - 6:30 pm
Every country has its ‘Street Food’ and in India roadside stalls and carts hawk savory delicacies called Chaat . Quick inexpensive plates similar to what's being served in Tapas bars. We are taking this concept into the classroom with zesty potato samosas, fried onion bhagi, fragrant meat kebabs, roti with chutney and other delectable tasties.

 


"I now can make pie crust the right way" - - M. Drysdale
 

Fun is the operative word.

Cooking school should be fun. At the South Bay School of Cooking, participants (instead of voyeurs) work around a communal island, making recipes, sharing tasks, privy to new skills. The ambiance is alive with laughter, vivid with the aromas of fresh herbs and spices, electric with the sizzling sounds of sautéing. No one gets banished to an outer work station to fumble away in solitude. Whether you arrive solo or with a friend, the happy sounds of collective cooking carve a lasting impression on your culinary psyche. Cooking school should build confidence. When you leave the class, you will be able to recreate recipes that once appeared daunting like leaf-wrapped prawns, Mediterranean red snapper with tomatoes and olives, and paella.

”What I love about Annette's class is that it really is hands on, which is hard to find. Not only that, but I always leave full and yet still manage to walk out of class with a to-go box of food to take home!" - Liza Sarao
