A year ago, a good friend of mine generously gifted me a Sur la Table cooking class. I was eyeing a Middle Eastern cooking class, but it never worked out with my schedule. So I decided that in the next two weeks, I’d finally use the gift card to schedule a cooking class, and I ended up booking an eclairs baking class with them. As I’m reading the expectations of the class, one line really irked me: “You will enjoy a generous taste of every dish.”

To me, if I am going to shell out $50-150 for a cooking class, I would like to think that I’d get an actual sit-down meal if it’s a full lunch or dinner menu we are preparing, or if it’s a baking class, that I’d get to have many treats to take home. The other baking classes I’ve taken, which have included macarons and croissants, had me taking home over 15-20 macarons and over a dozen croissants to share with Chris and friends.

I’m interested to see how they are defining a “generous taste” of each dish when we are talking about eclairs here. I hope I’m not too disappointed.
