lI know I say this every week – but I mean it every week! Best. food. I’ve ever tasted :).
Class this week was all about grains. We learned:
- Cornbread
- Risotto with vegetables
- Rice
- Cous Cous with beef stew and onion confit
- Wheatberry Salad
- Creamy Polenta
Please enjoy the best of the best below:
Oh my. By the way, if ever you’d like a recipe for something, please just let me know! Much of it is easier that you would think and the taste is sUperb.
After lesson we moved to the kitchen. We were down one from our usual trio, so we decided to recreate just one dish. MUSHROOM RISOTTO. Trust I’ll find a way to put mushrooms in something each week :).
Have you ever seen such gorgeously creamy risotto in all your life? There wasn’t any cream in it actually but the richness of homemade stock with the ultra slow cooking process and a generous addition of parmesan cheese aaand… just heaven.
So! Sorry to be somewhat quick, especially because all of this deserves so much more attention, but I have that flight and a big weekend of fun to attend. I will be back when I can be…Monday at the latest. I plan on soaking up every single second with my long-lost friends while I can :).
Much love!

mmmmmmmm . . . if I was in your class it would be my favourite week. I love grains!
YUM! What a fun night! I am loving your culinary school recaps! Have a great weekend with all your old college friends, Beth!
Oh dear!!! I’ve never seen such a beautiful risotto! Your grains class looks like it had the most incredible and delicious food. I’m so jealous! When I stop drooling, I’ll decide which recipe I need. Although I think I need all of them!
Enjoy your Friday!
ha, absolutely! just let me know :).
Have fun with your friends!
And I find a way to sneak mushrooms into absolutely ANYTHING! My favorite!!!
Have an absolute blast this weekend!!! Safe travels to you.
Thanks for the inspiration by the way…I bought some mushrooms for the first time this week (adult tastes change in funny ways!!) and I was wondering to what to put them in besides salad…I think risotto is a great idea.

arborio rice makes the best risotto because of its starchiness.
I can’t for the life of me make a good risotto…I’ve tried twice now and it’s just “okay”. Maybe the additional of fresh parmesan would do it?
yes, the parmesan makes a huge difference! it really brings the whole dish together into a pot of creamy deliciousness :).
Hey, we didn’t do anything with wheatberries! No fair! Would you believe in Tuesday’s class they make ALL the dishes?!? Insane! 🙂
I have no clue how they manage that!! We seem to have a hard enough time mastering one or two :).
You are going to have so much fun! Safe travels – look forward to the recap on Monday!
Have a great weekend! All of those dishes look SO good! No cream in the risotto? That’s awesome.
aww have so much fun! i love that heaven in a bowl..looks awesome!
Oh my that risotto with veggies looks incredible! So creamy!
Looks like you’re becoming quite the accomplished cook sister!
