Richard did a great job with this meal! He loves to make pasta at home and had a lot of fun learning about a new approach. He did an excellent job practicing his knife skills by dicing all of the aromatics and did a great job balancing the ratios and flavors of the various ingredients. The pasta turned out delicious and Richard was very excited to take home leftovers to share with his family.

*due to a scheduling mix up I had Richard for 90 minutes instead of our usual 60*

Richard really enjoyed this meal! It provided us with a great opportunity to discuss marinades and developing flavor across multiple stages of a dish. He really enjoys this dish at restaurants so he was excited to learn about the process and ingredients that go into it. He was particularly excited to learn about the spice blend, garam masala, that gives butter chicken its signature flavor.

Richard did an excellent job today! He got some great practice with his knife skill while prepping the various ingredients, and the pizzas were well balanced and tasted delicious. He first wanted to make a meat-lovers pizza with a cheese stuffed crust, which we then followed with a sausage and veggie pesto pizza with fresh basil and a balsamic drizzle.
