I gave Paul a gift certificate to Central Market Cooking School for Fathers Day. He loves to watch Iron Chef and is always saying how he should have been a chef. We let the in-laws watch Sophie for the night and enjoyed a great evening learning some Chinese cooking.
The woman who taught is was so wonderful and the recipes were really simple. Everyone got a chance to make
potstickers. Then we drew for the remaining 3 dishes so that we all got an opportunity to make something first hand. I did beef with broccoli and Paul's was shrimp with lobster sauce. I think it's funny that there wasn't actually any lobster in that dish but mine had oyster extract in it. For dessert we had almond cookies and green tea ice cream. The almond cookies reminded me of
snickerdoodles and I just love green tea ice cream.
We purchased the book and one of the best things about it is how she has a list of the
different ingredients along with a picture of what it is. That is so helpful when you are wandering around the Asian market with no idea what it is you are supposed to be getting.
The
author/teacher Dorothy Huang was gracious enough to sign our books for us. Paul had her
sign it to Logan. As she said, "Not even 4 years old and has his first cookbook!"
