Anyone Can Cook!
That is the title of one of the adult ed classes at the Latin School the EIC is considering. Here's the catalog description:
>>Anyone Can Cook: Basic Cooking 101
Explore basic cooking techniques with ELIZABETH ISAACS, professional chef and former cooking school director for Sur La Table who also has worked with the Levy Organization. Isaacs and a partner now operate Kiddy Cuisine. She will use her experience gathered at the Culinary Institute of America, The Food Network, and Food & Wine magazine to help you learn knife skills, various cooking techniques including sautéing and roasting, and basic baking. Isaacs also will share shortcuts and cooking tips. Learn to make homemade acorn squash ravioli with sage butter, classic "steakhouse"-style chopped salad, grilled skirt steak with a red wine and mushroom sauce, and banana oatmeal cookies. You will taste what is prepared and receive recipes so you can duplicate these dishes at home. (Limit: 13) <<
As we did last year, we consulted Monz for his opionion. He was intrigued by the chopped salad...
"Ok, first you take the lettuce and then you chop it. Dude, I saved you...how much?"
We're not sure if anyone can cook, but anyone could order up the vaguely familiar Subway (tm) lunch of a footlong turkey on hearty Italian with both sweet and hot peppers.

Salad isn't just cutting lettuce! You have to pick the lettuces (plural!), vary the cuts, precisely mix in the ingredients and master the art of the drizzle!
