Cooking Class - The Secrets to Cooking Fish

Chef Taylor will teach you the proper techniques to preparing a fine fish dinner.

Fish is delicate and preparing it can be intimidating, but in this class Chef Taylor will teach you how to bring out the best in a fish fillet.

Start with the fresh flavors of bruschetta and avocado, tomatoes, pickled onions and basil, followed by a mixed berry salad with feta cheese, toasted almonds and green goddess dressing. For your main course, learn how to pan sear salmon and serve it with spring pea risotto, garlic sautéed greens and a lemon butter sauce. For dessert, you'll discover how to prepare a sous vide cheesecake from scratch.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Chef Taylor was great. Very knowledgeable, extremely engaging and comfortable to be around. He allowed us to participate as much or little as we were comfortable with and the food was amazing. We'll probably try his pasta making class next.

We had a wonderful time with Chef Taylor learning how to make green goddess salad, rissoto, salmon (he prepared a cauliflower steak for my wife since she's vegetarian), and sous vide cheesecake. We could tell that a lot of thought and dedication went into the recipes he developed and everything was tasty and bursting with flavor. He made his recipes very approachable, explaining each step and involving us in the cooking process by showing us, e.g., techniques on slicing veggies (prop your knuckle against the blade to avoid cutting yourself!) and on searing salmon (scoring the skin to produce a crispy crust). One of the things I liked the most is that he uses everyday ingredients, like salmon from Costco and daisy sour cream and cherry tomatoes from Wegmans, to make delicious and inventive creations. Not everyone wants to shell out for specialty ingredients at Whole Foods, and we appreciated that he used quality, but accessible, ingredients for home cooks to be able to replicate in their own kitchens. Both Chef Taylor, his wife (also named Taylor), and their dog Tot were friendly and hospitable. Highly recommend.
