Cooking Workshop: Quick & Easy Meals

Now You’re Cooking is hosting another tastefully exciting workshop, this Saturday, November 15 at 1pm in the Parkdale area of Toronto! Get ready to learn how to cook some simple meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in no time.

Sometimes it’s hard to find the time to eat well, cook a tasty meal from scratch and save money on those grocery bills. In this class, Monique will teach you valuable tips and tricks that will get your kitchen working like a well-oiled machine.

In this hands-on class you will learn some essential culinary skills that will help increase your competence in the kitchen, while making three delicious meals:

Orzo Salad with Shrimp

Pasta salad is a versatile dish that’s very portable (perfect for potlucks) and can be served either hot or cold. This cold variety will introduce you “orzo”, a form of short-cut pasta that resembles a grain of rice.

Breaded Chicken Strips

A home-style classic, these homemade chicken strips are a lot easier to make than you might think. With only a few ingredients from basic staples found in your cupboard, you’ll be on your way to making these breaded chicken breast strips that are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfect for meals like chicken wraps or chicken salad.

Apple & Pear Crisp

Cobbler, crumble, crisp. Whatever you decide to call it, blending two flavours of fresh fruits together and topping it with a streusel-like deliciousness makes for a quick and easy dessert. You’ll be craving another bite!

You’ll also learn about:

• What type of basic seasonings to stock in your spice cabinet.
• Helpful shopping and storage tips for grocery items like chicken and herbs.
• Useful kitchen gadgets that will save you time.
• Options on alternative ingredients for different dietary needs (e.g. gluten-free, vegetarian).

All participants will go home with a sampling of the meal they helped create. Monique will also provide a take-home recipe sheet with the three recipes taught.
