Culinary Class with Chef Steve Cortez ~ A Great Date Night!

Last night I ventured out with the Hubbs for a long overdue date night minus our Tiny Tot. My husband LOVES BBQ, especially Ribs so I thought it might be fun to change up the RomCom/Dinner Date Night and take a Culinary Class. If you are like us you have a very busy schedule and have trouble committing to even a 6 week course much less a full semester offering. I love a 1 night class, show up, learn something new and no pressure with homework etc.

We took Chef Steve Cortez's BBQ Sauce & Rubs class and I could not have been happier. Chef Steve has a warm and engaging approach, nothing like Hell's Kitchen. I am not a great cook and lack what I like to call "Kitchen Confidence" and even I found it to be a great atmosphere. We all received a packet of 5 Sauces/Rubs and were all able to participate in not only preparing them but trying them on chicken, ribs, potato wedges & corn on the cob. DELICIOUS! I have fallen in love with one of his sauce recipes and will be ditching my former BBQ Flame Hi Life as I have a new light in my own kitchen. Post the recipe you ask? Not a chance, it's my new secret. You'll have to take Chef Steve's class to find out for yourself!!

Chef Steve also teaches at Sur La Table and CSM but if you are looking for "bang for your buck" definitely go with a Park & Rec Program close to home!
Chef Steve also offers private parties where you and your friends can enjoy a class in your own space - what a luxury!
