Rare LHT28 Posted August 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2019 we did the ViVa Espana (I think) that was the one but they combined it with another class as they did not have that many participants We made Cornbread & Huevos Rancheros & chicken tortilla But the Chef could do something different for your class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roccaforte Posted August 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2019 We have done “Red Ginger” and “If it Swims” on Riviera. the RG class had the watermelon/duck salad which was delicious. Most of the prep work is done ahead so the hands-on cooking it’s easy. If it swims was scallops and fish. Very good dishes. These classes are lots of fun and no stress. We were served wine to accompany our tasting. One requirement is NO OPEN TOED SHOES, FLIP FLOPS OR SANDALS . Safety requirements. Several people were sent back to their cabins for shoes. On both of these cruises the classes were booked with a wait list. Reserve early! Also, consider a late dinner since the food you prepare is for you to eat. Our next cruise is on Insignia and I’ll miss the Culinary Center😢😢😢. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever it will be is 1 simple basic preparation that takes about 20 min the rest of the time will be talking about food and showing technique.drinking wine and having fun.. many times your ingredients are pre-prepped . Take the classes to meet and interact with others who like cooking and have a fun hour. Don't expect deep learning or instruction. Things like how to peal garlic... or dice a tomato... It aint Cordon Bleu You will be given recipes to take home and you will get to have a bite of what they taught.very small bites it will not stuff you. It is fun...if your into cooking an experienced or a beginner ...no matter..... everyone will have fun ... BOOK well months in advance These fill up as fast as La Reserve reservations/ Edited August 17, 2019 by Hawaiidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha 1 Posted August 18, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I've done several of these and thoroughly enjoyed them all. In the fish class we were taught how to make a court bouillon for poaching, proper steaming technique, etc. The Tapas class was outstanding. Sharpened my knife skills a bit in another. Find one that interests you and go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was supposedly a Spanish foods class but they made Mexican food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
