For several years I taught cooking classes part time at a cookware shop that also offered a series called ‘cookbook’ classes. For these they sold a newly released cookbook along with a menu to teach the class, chosen straight from the book. These were my favourite classes to teach because I found by the end of the class (along with the pre-class reading) I felt like I knew the cookbook author quite well.
Think of Jamie Oliver and his bright, vibrant, energetic colours or Ina Garten and her organized but warm and inviting recipes; the food always matches the personalities.
