An excellent Tuscan cooking class
Carol, co-owner of Lost Creek Winery in Leesburg, had a great idea. She hosted a cooking class at the winery last Saturday night. The instruction was geared to those than can cook and those that are just learning. Maria, from http://www.tuscancookingclasses.com/, was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and fun. The night was hands-on- we made or assembled everything. The menu included an antipasta platter, bruschetta (ours had an herbed white bean topping), grilled pizza with a variety of toppings to choose from, and a salad with a balsamic/olive oil dressing. The available wines included Chardonnay, Chambourcin, Cabernert Sauvignon, and Merlot. YUM! The food tasted so good and it was fun to match the wines with each dish.

I am looking forward to taking Maria's course myself. I also hope to schedule her as a guest chef on my local tv show, "Cooking Fresh, Cooking Local." on WJAL TV starting this May.
