For Christmas I had bought my dad a cooking class at Sur La Table and yesterday we both went to it! The theme was Dim Sum. Our menu included:

Overall, class was great. There were 5 other people (not including my dad and I) in the class plus one instructor and couple of assistants. The instructor kicked things off by educating us on Dim Sum. Then she went through all the instructions of the recipes. After that we were put to work! All of the measuring and prep work was done for us in advance. It was nice not having to go through the more tedious steps of cooking.
The whole class had a blast. I really enjoyed the shrimp and the spring rolls. I didn’t like the sticky rice because it had this gnarly tasting Chinese sausage which tasted like a harder-to-chew hot dog. But I definitely plan on making the baked coconut shrimp! I LOVE finding recipes that are feasible for me to make.
That was my second class at Sur La Tab and I (again) thought they did a great job at orchestrating it. It was a little longer than I expected (this one was 3 hours), but we had plenty to do, so time flew! And one of the best parts – we didn’t have to clean up!

An excellent program, terrific menu, and loved hanging out with you Dana! Thank you for such a thoughtful Xmas gift!! xoxo
You’re welcome! It was fun to hang out with you, too!
Love you!!!
