Classes are held on Tuesday and Thursday nights at my home in Hingham, MA. They start promptly at 7:00, and usually end just before 10. The recommended contribution to the cost of food is $80 per class. The maximum people per class is 8, although there is a ninth seat, which we lovingly refer to as the ‘time out’ seat, as it sits a little lower than the others. The ninth seat is offered at a greatly reduced contribution.
What to Expect
These classes are informal, and for the most part, hands-off. You will sit at the counter, with a recipe booklet to take notes on, and observe. I like to think of the classes as a relaxing night out, but a night that leaves you feeling emboldened to go home and cook! Questions are encouraged, as there are NO stupid questions here at LSCS.
We typically get through 5-6 recipes, that are served as small courses. Come hungry, as the class serves as a complete meal. I work hard to keep each menu accessible. When I say accessible, I mean I try to keep ingredient lists to things you can buy locally, I only use equipment you are likely to have at home*, and am realistic about the amount of time anyone is going to spend on dinner.
My husband Grahame chooses wines to compliment the food, and gives me tasting notes to relay to you. The times being what they are, he hunts up wines that are great value, and only chooses wines you can buy around town without sticker shock. Sometimes he is home for class, and then you get a much better description of the wines than I am capable of!
*OK, often I encourage people to go to Homegoods and buy gadgets….but only ones I know you will really use.
