Milk Street's In-Person Cooking School

<H2>At Milk Street, we think great cooking is all about contrast. Whether it’s sweet + sour, bitter + salty, or crunchy + smooth, contrast makes food exciting. The Milk Street approach to cooking also emphasizes simplicity and respect for ingredients with bold flavors. We'll explore these three concepts—contrast, simplicity and bold flavor—with some of our favorite recipes, including Orange-Guajillo Pulled Chicken Tacos, Chili-Lime Cucumber and Jicama Salad, and Sweet Potato Cake. In addition to plenty of cooking, we'll do a variety of tasting exercises and experiments to learn key techniques for balancing flavors and textures. </H2>
Recipes in this class include: Orange-Guajillo Pulled Chicken Tacos, Chili-Lime Cucumber and Jicama Salad, Macanese Sweet Potato Cake (Batatada)
