A Cooking Class for Two
Every year, the Greenburgh Library host an annual fundraiser, called Books and Cooks, where they feature local authors. They were kind enough to have me last year, and in turn I was able to showcase, The Bengali Five Spice Chronicles. I was able to offer one of my classes as a silent auction item, both last year and this one. Last night, I had the pleasure of hosting Lisa and Mark, the wonderful couple who won this class. I have for various reasons (read, I do not like posting I-phone photos on the blog), stayed away from posting class pictures on the blog, but today I figured why not. Especially since, I am excited how well the cookbook dishes worked with this couple.
Getting all the spices sorted, on the menu was Fenugreek and Black Pepper Chicken (Methi Morich Moorgi), Beetroot and Green Pea Pilaf , Samosas and Chutney. They wanted to be in an out without having the baby sitter freak out.
All the essentials, we were still able to do garden tomatoes and of course, beets. One of the highlights of my summer/fall classes is that I can still do some of the farm-to-table stuff.
Yes, that the tomatoes for the chicken.
Stuffing the samosa, this couple usually stays away from the kitchen, so this class was about adventure. Well, she had never rolled any dough before.
This is Mark bracing for his samosa moment. Life might just not be the same again!
Of course, it always helps to have some wine handy, it helps the stuffing process.
Here is my Beetroot Pilaf, I love the pink colors, don’t you? There is the chicken in the background.
Looks like she is enjoying her meal, while he is perusing the book!
