I’ve been super excited to do a post about Cook and Go! I was able to attend an event there last week and I had an absolute blast!
What is Cook and Go? It’s a culinary studio that provides cooking lessons and you leave with a 3-course meal to take home! The concept was originally from France, so things like portion size are definitely kept in mind
Here’s a look at the studio:
Each month features 4 different themed, 3-course menus, so you can pick the one that sounds the best to you.
On my menu was:
- Green smoothie
- Chickpea burger with tahini sauce Recipe below
- Raspberry Tart Cookie
For traditional classes there are about 8 students, each with their own station. Here’s a peak at my station:
In addition to this there was a handy immersion blender and a knife.
We started with the shortbread cookie!
It was amazing that we only used about 1.5 TBSP of floor a touch of sugar and a pat of butter to create a whole tarts. Here’s the finished produce–you can’t see it, but there’s some yummy jam in the center.
Next up was the chickpea burger!
This was delicious! I can’t even tell you! And again, I was shocked that about 6 tbsps of chickpeas made a huge burger!
Finally, we made a very green smoothie!
Honestly, I had so much fun. I want to go there with friends, on dates, as a team building event!
What I loved about Cook and Go was that it was fun, health and hands on! Unlike cooking classes where you watch the chef, at cook and go, you actually cook!
I met some great people (Stefanie @thebrokeandbeautifullife, Jennifer @medicinalnutrition and David @bartonbites). In the 90 minute class, we got to know each other, it was a very natural way to get to know someone without all the awkwardness that can occur at meet and greets. The chef was amazing too! He kept us laughing! Oh, and did I mention the free wine at every class?
Lastly, and maybe most importantly, is the affordability of Cook and Go. Classes range from $39-89, which is way less than most culinary studios. Most dishes are easy to prepare and something you actually would cook at home. They also send you home with recipes with instructions for preparing a dish for anywhere between 1 and 6! Yay portion control.
To make the already affordable classes even more affordable, I have a discount code that will give you 15% off your first class. Just use the code BLOG14 when you sign up online.
