Taste of Home Cooking Schools

by

cookingschool Last night I attended my first Taste of Home Cooking School and it won’t be my last. I had such a good time and learned a lot in just two hours.

Michelle Roberts from the cooking school made 8 delicious dishes that were then given away as door prizes. I was so hoping to win one but did win a small, Tupperware door prize. There was a nice goody bag that everyone received for their paid admission to the show.

In the cookbook were all of the recipes made during the show and many more. It was really inspirational and gives me some ideas for dinner.

One of the dishes involved salmon. It was good to see her cook salmon since I usually stay away from cooking fish. I just don’t feel confident in knowing when it’s done. But seeing it cooked and hearing a few tips makes me think that I might can make it after all.

It was great fun and if a Tast of Home Cooking School comes to your town, make sure you attend.

There were many tips that were shared during the show. It’s a lot of knowledge packed into just a few hours. Also there were a ton of other door prizes from local and national sponsors.

It was a great time and was fun to see a live cooking demonstration. I will be making at least a few of the recipes over the next few weeks. I am even more looking forward to dinner time. I think this cooking show helped to raise my interest in cooking.
