We love Valentine’s Day – it’s also our Engagement Anniversary, so it’s special. We had a great time at a special Hands-on Cooking Class at Coriander Leaf. The menu was FANTASTIC! Take a look:
Roasted Eggplant & Pomegranate Salad
Tomato Soup Scented with Cumin
Lime & Chili Sorbet
Miso Gratinated Salmon with Buttered Asparagus
Black Pepper Crusted Beef Fillet with Confit of Sarawak Pineapple
(uh oh - no picture of the beef, but it was good!)
Lava Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream
What a great experience! Samia has a good thing going here - good instruction, good fun and good food! Paul and I really enjoyed the atmosphere; we tried to guess out of the six other couples who were married, dating or if it was a first date. Some really worked well together and others, not so much. But, that was the fun of it! The scrambling around - the frenzy and finally when Samia, Nick and her team put the finishing touches on our prepared meals, the satisfaction of eating a romantic meal that you made together.
Really Sexy Aprons!
Samia had a numbered system so that each couple had a number and all of your food was "marked" so that you actually ate what you prepared. Then, while we all enjoyed Champagne at our coupled tables, we were served our yummy dinners.
Samia was in the V-Day spirit with her red shoes - love it!
Our cakes turned out great, though we had a little help with the whipping of the eggs - you really have to go for it!!! By the way, I did pick up some Valrhona Chocolate at Tott's the other day, so I'm going to make these for Tavia and her family (they get here soon - yeah!).
So, here are some other "atmosphere" pictures; it was a fantastic night - something we'll never forget!!
