1 Cooking lesson

We booked a family cooking lesson with Fatina, for a total of 7 people including 3 teenaged kids. Fatina was engaged from the moment we hired her in menu and grocery planning, making sure we would have everything we needed. When she arrived, she taught us a lot about cooking technique, cooking chemistry, how to use various items in our kitchen, + how to keep our food clean and healthy.

1 Cooking lesson

When it comes to cooking I'm pretty much as low skill level as they come. However, I do aspire to be able to make really good food and I especially want to be able to make really great food on my smoker. I've tried making ribs and brisket on my smoker before but always ended up overcooking them and having to throw away expensive pieces of meat so I thought I would try to find a cooking tutor to help me out.

1 Cooking lesson

During my consultation session, I was comparing notes and posing questions with Noa on fry cooking discovering along the way where I could improve or abandon the way I was doing things or adopt his way in certain phases of fry cooking. My next batch of fried chicken last Saturday night was way better than I had done in the past. Thanks Noa !
