Cooking Class at Don Coqui - May 23, 2012

So, a party of four enrolls for a cooking class at Don Coqui. After several schedule changes, they finally arrive at “Tapas, Sangria & Mojito Party!” Yes, this all began with an email and ended with a great night of fun and tasty food.

First, I will start with some advice…make sure you grab a snack in advance You actually cook what you are going to eat and that takes some time. Also, be prepared that things will not be perfect – you and your classmates are cooking here! Finally, remember that the drinks are unlimited and included, so enjoy.

After a short tutorial from Chef Jack (who is very charismatic and patient), you get assigned a task. Thankfully, we were not on team onion! After peeling and cutting, we noticed that some of the onion choppers were doing an interesting job, so Chris opted to assist. We heard all about Chef Jack's secrets and made a variety of foods.

After many, many drinks and some excellent chatting, it was time for food. We watched as the food was set out and salivated. (starving) The bacalaitos were very salty, but everything else was very good and tasty.

The drinks were great and the food was tasty. The whole experience is determined by the group you are with – as long as you are with people who will have fun, you’ll have fun. I am sure that this is something that I will be interested in doing again – this time, easy on the salt! (And, the best part was that we got the tickets for half off!)
