T stands for Trying and Tasting
The last time I was up at Stonewall Kitchen’s flagship store, I picked up one of their cooking school brochures. I love all of Stonewall Kitchen’s products, their garden and recipes, so taking a class up there has been on my bucket list.

The dahlias were fabulous
Love this planter idea.

Triple chocolate mousse and a Coffee
The class format is a demonstration only, but all participants enjoy a delicious meal. The chef John Bickerstaff was low key, friendly and informative. The entire staff was great, typical of Stonewall employees. I came away with some really good tips, including using grape seed oil instead of olive oil for cooking with high heat. Everything was delicious and I am inspired to make some recipes of these at home. I am already looking at the booklet for future classes. A perfect, fun Stonewall experience.
What a fun thing to do! And the food looks really delicious!

Wow, it looks like you had a wonderful time at the cookery class! Just my sort of things too and the meal looks so delicious, glad you had fun 😁. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely place to visit, and to enjoy a cooking class too, and eat the results, what fun. Happy T day Elle xx
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great cooking class - the chef demonstrates, but you get to eat! And you get good ideas that you can use in your own cooking. I have never tried grape seed oil, but it's a good idea for high heat.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about their cooking classes. I didn't know they were demo. I love shopping at Stonewall Kitchen. This looks like a fun thing to do, and a yummy thing too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this store but a cooking class sounds like fun and the food looks delicious! What a great way to spend an evening.

I'd love to have an herb and floral garden like they have at Stonewall Kitchen. That's a dream location indeed. I am glad you shared the photos from the Stonewall Kitchen demo. It's obviously set up for eating only. The kitchen cooking place I visited had individual cook tops, as well as an area for prep work. It would be fun to learn a few new things and get to eat, too. Thanks for sharing your incredible meal the chef made, as well as your coffee for T this Tuesday, dear Nan.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - lucky you!! Beautiful gardens and the food looks fabulous. I would definitely sign up for bunches of the classes if I lived near there. Wow! Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteIs this up in York, ME? I just went to look at the classes. They must be very popular everything was sold out. Looks like a cool place.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at raspberry chicken and triple chocolate mousse! What a wonderful experience. I wish something would get me interested in cooking again! Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteFor years, we had a local cooking class done in the instructor's home---demonstration with dinner following. Several of us were regular attenders and I have a notebook of well-used recipes from the classes. This looks like so much fun--and delicious, too!
