Cooking Class - Day Two

Another fun (and tiring!) day in cooking class. Today we continued cooking and the dishes were a bit more complex than the day before as we had more time since we didn’t start at the farmers market. I made a Mexican pork and tomatillo stew. It was a lot of work. It took about two and a half hours from start to finish, but I think it wouldn’t have taken so long on my own. Part of it was working in a strange kitchen and working around all the others. But it was all really fun and ultimately very tasty!

And it was a great group. This is the second class I’ve taken at this school and there’s something about getting people together to cook that really breaks down barriers and bonds you. There were a lot of laughs. And the best part is that at the end of each day, you get to taste everything that everyone made. For a bunch of novices, we did really good work.

My masterpiece! Pork & tomatillo stew with purslane and cilantro. Yum!

After hours of cooking, everyone gets to feast on the bounty!

A sample of everything everyone made. This isn't intuitive eating, but it sure was tasty and that's okay!

All in all, it was a really great day. And I'll take that!
