Sur La Table Boulder

We had such a great time in our cooking class at Sur La Table. I attended the cooking class with the Board of Directors from the REALTOR Association. Annually we pick an activity that will be fun and team building. This year it was Sur La Table and the effect was perfect! The chef in charge, Skylar, had so much personality and really wanted us to learn about our dishes. She kept us on track and taught us all new tricks. For example, I didn’t know that you are suppose to ‘pinch’ the knife with your thumb and pointer on the blade then grab the handle with your back four fingers. That is the proper technique in order to have complete control over the knife. We also learned about Spanish paprika, pimenton, which comes either sweet or spicy. The favorite item for me that we made were bacon wrapped dates. What I liked is that we stuffed them with blue cheese and a marcona almond! they were the perfect balance of sweet and savory. They had everything ready and laid out for our group to arrive. The utensils and ingredients were well organized and the kitchen itself was spotless, too. The storefront was stock full of every cooking item that you could imagine. Overall, a great experience!
