👋 Megan here! The Central Market Cooking School is a great way to spend a special date night, get in some family time or just sharpen your kitchen skills.
How it works: There's a cuisine style for everyone: Upcoming classes include Korean barbecue and A Taste of New Orleans. Tickets are available on EventBrite, and can range from about $90 to around $110 per person.
Pro tip: Classes sell out fast, so plan ahead. I booked about a month out.
My experience: I attended a handmade pastas class where we made dough and three different fillings: spinach and mushroom, four cheese and pumpkin with amaretti cookie crumbles.
- The chefs prepared extra dough in advance so that we could squeeze everything into the 2 1/2-hour class and still have time to sit for dinner and a wine sample.
- But the dough we mixed, rolled out and shaped into raviolis and tortellinis still ended up on my plate at the end of the night.
The bottom line: It's always nice to learn something new. Plus, pasta tastes best fresh.
