[Sca-cooks] What kind of class would you attend?

[Kingstaste]

The classes I find the most useful for hands-on are technique-oriented.
Learn one recipe, and all you can do is that recipe.  Learn a technique, and
you've learned a whole genre of cooking.  
For period studies, going through one specific source - getting into
specifics - would interest me, I've attended enough overviews to last me I
think.

I'm a pretty good general cook. I'm good at frying, braising, roasting,

baking, etc...my knife skills are pretty decent. I'm knowledgable in 

many cuisines. I've cooked professionally, been a featured chef at a

farmer's market, catered, taught and achieved a Laurel.

 

So, I think I have a fair grounding in cookery. But there are always things

to learn. I'd like to bake more and there are techniques I still need to

master. One area I am very weak in is kitchen string. That's right, string.

I need to learn the proper techniques for trussing, binding, tying and
bundling

meats. I can kind of make do, but my results are a far cry from professional

looking. And that is a class that is never taught.

 

So, what kind of class would you like to attend that is never or rarely

taught?
