Stop Microwaving, It's Too Hot Outside
Arguably, if it's too hot to mircowave, it's probably also too hot to cook anything else and you're better served by making ice cream, or better yet, ice. But it would probably be much more interesting to spend some time in a professional air-conditioned kitchen learning how to make gazpacho or sorbet, right?
The Chicago Tribune wants to help make that happen for you, and printed a really thorough listing of Chicago-area cooking classes in yesterday's Good Eating section. The full list is here, but rest assured that the selections go far beyond Sur La Table or the Chopping Block, from the Alliance Francaise (mmmm, cheese and wine, starting at $45) to Le Dessert, where classes start from $495. (damn). If you're gift-giving challenged and surrounded by hungry friends and relatives, like me, cooking classes can be a great way to celebrate a birthday or holiday and you even get to take home some new skills (and hopefully leftovers). It beats microwaving your dinner on a Friday night in any case.
