Cooking and Wine

Steve and I went to a cooking class at Sur La Table last night and it was so much fun. I'm so glad we did it, we've been talking about it for a long time. Sur La Table offers classes taught by professional chefs and its very hands on. One important thing, you can bring your own wine to enjoy while you cook.

We learned how to make:

• Cinnamon ice cream with anise-poached pears
• Curried chicken salad with red grades, walnuts and dried currants
• Star anise crispy stir-fried beef with scallions
• Ancho chile-cumin pork tenderloin with orange-avocado salsa

We also learned some tricks for cutting veggies and how to find and buy certain spices.
