As a birthday present to Steven, I got us a cooking class in Las Vegas at the Bellagio hotel!! They do it once a month, taught by the executive chef and his culinary team. It was really cool, and felt like being on a reality tv show!
First was the salad course, where we got some professional chopping lessons down, as well as how to cook couscous quick, make a yogurt dressing, and artfully arrange everything:
Then we learned how to tie and roast a whole chicken!! We didn’t do that part individually, though we did get to eat it:
We got back into it for the dessert course, a passionfruit mousse. Here’s a look at Steven and my station:
We did make a fancy sauce for it, though, and artfully decorated with chocolate curls and piped cream.
We met some really cool people in the class, including Las Vegas locals and a guy vacationing from Brazil! It was my favorite thing we did on this trip, so I would definitely recommend it!
