Part of the reason we are such good friends is because, not only do we know each other extremely well, but we share many of the same interests. So, being how this has been a pretty big year for us in terms of food, blogging, and lifestyle related things, Chels decided to get Sues the perfect birthday present: a cooking class at Stir. We had never heard of Stir before, but upon investigating, Chels thought it sounded awesome and knew Sues would love it and together we could spread the word.
(hello, this is how they started us off. Mix of meats and cheeses and our favorite, homemade ricotta cheese with pomegranate seeds… brilliant)
(Our lovely chefs for the evening, Ben and Molly. They made a great team!)
(1. Lemon Linguine with Spicy Clams: Woodbury littenecks, extra virgin olive oil, parsley salad)
(2. Ravioli Con Uovo with fine herbs)
(Ravioli Con Uovo with fine herbs, egg yolk in center, probably one of our favorites!)
(3. Wild Mushroom Lasagnettes: black truffle bechamel… yes they fed us truffles… words can’t explain how this whole dish blew our minds. If we recall correctly, the only sound out of people was “mmmmmmm”.)
(4. Gnocchi Bolognese with parmaggiano-reggiano)
(Molly’s passion fruit mousse… the perfect way to end the evening)
If you’re in Boston or planning on visiting and love cooking (or just eating!), signing up for a class at Stir is a MUST. We can honestly see these classes becoming extremely addicting. We want to go to all of them. Check out their website and soon-to-be-announced winter class schedule (classes fill up fast so don’t hesitate!) With the holidays approaching we’re thinking this would make the perfect gift for the food lover on your list.
