Over the last year I have attended a number of the cooking classes, everything from Italian to French to Thai this past month. Each time I attend a cooking class I get to meet so many wonderful people (some are members and some have simply heard about the class and wanted to try it for themselves), have the opportunity to cook in a great kitchen with amazing tools and resources, learn new recipes, and share a great meal with wonderful people (and the best part is that I don't have to do any dishes after!).
The April cooking class had a Thai theme (each cooking class has a theme that the recipes will focus around) and also had an elevated experience. One of the thoughtful and attentive staff members created a concept of incorporating more elements of the theme into the event, to enhance the experience for all of the participants. This month's class also featured Thai music, cocktails, decorations and ambiance - it was wonderful. This enhanced experience will also be continuing through an upcoming series of meals and cooking classes featuring an 'around the world' experience. Both Steve and I are looking forward to participating in as many of these events as possible, and encourage you to attend as well if this may be something that interests you (I believe that the next cooking class, in May, will be Greek).
Steve and I both had a phenomenal time at the Thai cooking class and learned many new recipes. The dish that we prepared was an eggplant curry that was delicious (each couple/team/group of friends or new acquaintances prepares a different dish and then we all sit down to enjoy them together at the end of the evening). We are hoping to find a good opportunity in the coming weeks to try some of the Thai recipes we learned (and were able to take home with us - the Club provides each participant with a complete book of all the recipes used in the cooking class) in our own home and perhaps share them with friends and family.
If you are interested in learning more about the cooking classes or the Halifax Club please message me - I would be delighted to share with you what all the Club has to offer.
