Healthy Seafood Class

The turnout for this past Sunday's technique class was a pleasant surprise, in that there were so many people for whom this was their first technique class.  I put a great deal of time and energy into preparing my classes and nothing makes me happier than the kind of positive feedback I received this week from my "regulars" and "newbies" alike.

In class we had so much material to cover that I only briefly introduced the last "healthy fish" cooking technique: en papillote (click link for common definition).  As promised, I've included a two part video at the end of the blog to walk you through several variations of this technique. If you pay close attention, you may notice that Alton Brown points out that en papillote comes from the French word for butterfly, referring to the heart shaped parchment paper typically used.  Don't get confused, "butterflying" is a different cooking technique altogether, one you'll get to see if you take the Healthy Chicken Class on April 25th.   If you want to attend either the noon or 3 PM class, please call the Williams-Sonoma 59th and Lexington Avenue store at 917-369-1131 to have your name added to the technique class list; the class is free but we need to know how many people plan to attend so we have enough food for everyone to be able to taste the recipes.  As the schedule stands now, I think I'll be teaching that class.
