At Milk Street, we’ve created a cooking theory that unlocks the secrets and ease of great cooking. When our students learn to think about food according to our theory’s simple principles, they cook with confidence. They gain the tools to make substitutions, tweak a recipe or go completely recipe-free. They can add a final flourish that takes a dish from good to great and troubleshoot successfully when “surprises” happen. At the Milk Street's Cooking Theory 101 class we will: • Run through a tasting exercise using our Fluffy Olive Oil Scrambled Eggs to introduce you to the key concepts. • Chart and map all manner of ingredients, flavors and textures to deepen our learning and give you the vocabulary you need to understand what makes great meals great. • Make Fried Halloumi Sandwiches, which will put all of the class lessons to use and result in a delicious dinner. Date | Wednesday, January 12 from 3 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. Location | Online Register here! Admission is $25 per person.
