I’m going to keep this post short and sweet. My mantra is explore and you will learn. This is what I learned yesterday. I had the opportunity to attend another cooking demonstratuion at the Loblaws Cooking School. The guest chef was Elise Burton, who prepared her version of the Classic Macaroni and Cheese, and Oven Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Garlic Butter.
The class was a lot of fun and the meal was delicious. I realize unless you have flexible work schedule, this kind of “lunch and learn” activity might not work for everyone. However if you can’t get to the class have the class come to you. What a fabulous option, now chefs will come to your home and assist with your cooking needs.
Another option, if you are tired of eating out and trying to cook at home, is Loblaws at Empress Market “On the Go Gourmet”, which offers you the opportunity to put together 5 entrees, (with fresh ingredients in 1.5 hours) that you can freeze and use as needed. It costs $100.00 and serves 2-3 people. Something worth trying at home or in the summer time for outings to the cottage.
So, I’ve got cookbooks, videos, blogs, iPhone apps, cooking demos, and now I will add in home chefs and “On the Go Gourmet” in my quest for healthier eating.
Bon appetite here’s to life long learning.
I just found your blog and this post that mentions me. So glad to have had you in my class that day and very happy you enjoyed the experience and the food. You and your readers can find me at “EliseCooks” on Twitter or at “Elise’s Cooking Classes” on Facebook.
