What better way to spend a rainy Vancouver Sunday afternoon than learning cooking techniques and taste tips at a cooking class with a group of friends?
With wine paired to drink as we tasted each course - and sipped between courses - it was a relaxed and satisfying way to wind down the weekend.
Ten of us assembled to learn from Chef Hilary, how to make a velvety cardamom-flavoured carrot soup, smoked salmon croquettes, crusted eggplant wheels and mussels in lobster stock.
Hilary pointed out up front that for savoury dishes, she preferred to use recipes as a guide , allowing for more creativity and spontaneity in cooking. So rather than having us reading recipes instead of watching, she would email the recipes to us later.
