I want to be a chef when I grow up


I really love food. Like A LOT. I also really like cooking and experimenting with different flavors. I would love to go to culinary school, or apprentice for a chef and learn everything about food so that I can cook for myself and others and eat forever.

Does anyone know a good place to take cooking classes in the city that are affordable?

On that note, here's what I made for myself for dinner tonight.

Salmon Medallion with spinach florentine stuffing (Trader Joe's) that I sauteed with butter, red cooking wine, chopped yellow onion and pineapple sage. AND a mixed green salad with baby roman tomatoes, yellow onion, chopped carrots, raw almonds, crumbled feta cheese and a homemade olive oil, dijon mustard and lime dressing.

For dessert I had some Mango-Tangerine sorbet (also from Trader Joe's). It was an extremely successful meal.

ALSO if you have never tried a Meyer Lemon (a cross between a mandarin orange and a lemon) you need to. It is absolutely delicious and makes great, refreshing salad dressing. It's also amazing in a homemade iced tea or to add to a pickle brine or guacamole.

Go to Whole Foods, last time I checked they were 2 for $1. Get a couple and enjoy!!
