As usual, Dan was awesome at Christmas presents this year and signed me up for Brooklyn Kitchen’s “Hearty Vegetarian” cooking class. Yesterday was the big day, and even though out of 15 people I was the only person there without their significant other (seriously, what even?), I still had a good time and learned a lot of helpful cooking tips. I also learned that maybe I’m a bit better of a chef than I give myself credit for, and that I might be an intermediate cook rather than a beginner.
Anyway, tonight I made a vegetable galette based off a recipe I learned from the class. This baby doesn’t look as appetizing as it ought to (I think), but it was pretty phenomenal. It’s got homemade dough, roasted Brussels sprouts, onion, shallot, garlic, sage, parmesan and a little bit of a brie-ish type cheese.
I foolishly looked up how many calories are in a stick of butter, and now I’m just glad that I didn’t eat too much today before chowing down on this. And like, fuck it, this was so good and I made it with my HANDS.
Funny tidbit: While this was cooking, I told Dan it was going to basically be “a giant Crescent Roll full of shit” which I meant in a good way, but he got really grossed out, for obvious reasons. Also, it was way better than anything I’ve eaten out of a can.
