I am loving the free Technique classes
@ Williams Sonoma!
I attended my 3rd one this past Saturday
I learned how to make butter and ricotta cheese
Also, another fun surprise
the owner, Rich Rogers from Scardello's
was there to give us
a quick lesson on cheeses
Is it a coincidence
that I had just visited Scardello's
last week ?
Here is a list of the upcoming classes
The classes I attend in Plano @ Park & Preston are on Saturdays @ 9:30am
Look on the Williams Sonoma site for location and times in your area

You'll learn how to slice, dice and chop and to make advanced cuts, including chiffonade and julienne. We'll also offer complimentary know sharpening. Limit one know per customer, please.

A specialty of northern Italy, risotto has earned a place as a legendary

As you’ll discover in this class, risotto will quickly become one of the most versatile and well-loved dishes in your repertoire.

Hi Sandi! thanks for subscribing to my blog! And thanks for the reminder about the free Williams and Sonoma classes - I always forget to put these on my calendar. They're usually pretty darn good and FREE!
Butter......you can make.....butter ? Somehow.....I just can't see you churning away.......with an apron and wooden stick { like in the olden day pics ! } Just kidding.......I think it's great what you're learning. I'm a little bit.......jealous !...........love ya.....Norma
Norma, to make butter all you need is a Kitchen Aid with the paddle attachment and about 2 cups of whipping cream. Cute apron is optional. No more churning for us 21st Century chicks!
Oh my gosh, how fun is that!
Want to see photos of you making BUTTER.
Looking forward to reading about your next Cooking Adventure!
I work in the Plano area but live in the N FW area. I have been considering taking these classes. So you have really enjoyed them and feel enriched as well? Who knows Chef Curtis may be there when you show up sometime! lol
