I was invited to attend a cooking class with some ladies and we chose to do the class making southern specialties based on the movie, 'The Help". This was our menu for the day:
The class was held at
The Viking Cooking School at the
Allen & Petersen Appliance Center in mid-town Anchorage. It was a lot of fun ~ I would definitely like to do it again ~ we were able to get 1/2 price on this class so it wasn't too expensive...
They have a really nice prep kitchen for everyone to work and observe, including a camera above the stove that allows you to view the contents of the pots and pans on a t.v. screen...

We each got a turn assisting the instructors with the different dishes...

| Prepping the chicken |
 |
| You can't make fried chicken without Crisco, right? |
 |
| definitely not a low-fat meal, but mmm...mmm... |

| Connie pulling out the chicken...lookin' good |
 |
| Making the biscuits...this was my most favorite item of the day :) |
 |
| the spread: cornbread, collard greens, flaky biscuits w/ honey butter, mac & cheese, fried chicken, sweet tea, coke in a glass bottle |
|

| dessert was a caramel cake - very tasty |
I can vouch for the fact that everything was delicious...but southern cooking is most definitely NOT something I can eat every day...case in point...later that day, the button on my jeans literally popped off as I was walking!! I guess the diet starts tomorrow, right?!? :)

Love fried chicken! Cooking classes are so fun! Would you make the caramel cake at home?
Looks yummy!! What fun:)
Mary - the cake was good but it was very dense, so not my most favorite kind of cake - I would definitely try the chicken, biscuits, collared greens and cornbread - but make the biscuits / cornbread at different times so there isn't so much bread...and maybe sub mashed potatoes for the mac & cheese... :)
