You'll start by making rich Hollandaise sauce from scratch which will go on your herb roasted pork chops. Then, you'll make perfectly seared scallops with brown butter and lemon pan sauce. Next, you'll prepare creamy mushroom risotto with arborio rice, garlic, Parmesan cheese, chicken broth and wild mushrooms. Chef Washington will equip you with some key chef skills like how much to stir and exactly when to add the broth. Then, you'll wrap up the session by preparing a classic tiramisu made with egg yolks, sugar, mascarpone and cocoa powder.

My friend & I had a really great time eating delicious tacos and socializing with the other guests. It is important to know that most of the items on the menu are prepared beforehand and it's not as hands-on as most would expect. That was no issue with me. It was great helping out where I could & being served taco after taco. Looking forward to next class that I attend.
