Cooking Classes NYC

New York City!

A cooking class in NYC is a great way to learn about the city, meet like minded people, and oh yes, learn how to cook something.

New York is arguably the culinary capital of the world.  Do you want to learn how to cook ethnic food?  Pick your ethnicity.  There are Indian food cooking classes, Chinese cooking classes, Italian cooking classes, and well you can learn how to cook just about any type of ethnic food you can think of.

Maybe you’re after cooking classes for couples.  Cooking classes for couples are becoming quite popular.  Needless to say, New York offers many cooking classes for couples as well.

New York is made up of five boroughs.  When tourists think about New York, they are usually thinking about Manhattan.   For that matter, many New Yorkers too think of Manhattan as New York (and as the center of the known universe, but that’s another story).  The other boroughs are Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island.

While most of the cooking classes you’ll find are in Manhattan, don’t overlook the other boroughs, especially Brooklyn.  Brooklyn has come into its own in recent years; it can now hold its own as a culinary destination.

So check out this site for the cooking classes NYC has to offer.  Check back, because there are new offerings all the time.  And, have a good time while in NYC!

Japanese Cooking Classes NYC – Living Squid Mutilation

December 11th, 2011

Japanese Cooking Classes NYC – I have discovered a video showing “Living Squid Mutilation” or raw sashimi cooking. In Hokkaido Japan, customers pay 1000 JPY to a restaurant chef and have a squid killed. The dish is known ‘Sashimi’ which is quite popular in Japan. According to Japanese law, it doesn’t concern animal cruelty acts because they are meant to serve as a meal. The process takes around 5 seconds, from the time the chef cut open the mantle to the time he pulled the head off and removed the guts under the tap. The recipe of Sashimi is commonly teach in a Japanese cooking class, but not the mutilation of a living squid which heavily depend on years of training and techniques.
