REBECCA ROSS • The Pensacola News Journal • RROSS@PNJ.COM • FEBRUARY 5, 2011
The recipe is simple.
 Katie King / kking@pnj.com The Fish House Sushi Chef Hiromi Miles demonstrates how to make nigiri sushi, sashimi sushi, miso soup, and various sushi sauces on Tuesday night during the Sweet Tea Southern Cooking series at The Fish House. Take a lively crowd and a chef, mix well. Add a sprinkle of questions, a pinch of laughter and a dash of romance.
Serve with a refreshing beverage and voila! You’ve got yourself a cooking class.
Culinary education on the Gulf Coast has never been so edu-taining. From French cuisine to cupcakes, locals are eating up instruction from professional chefs.
Ben and Wendy Boyer, of Pensacola, certainly enjoyed their Feb. 1 cooking class at Jasmine Fusion on Nine Mile Road. Along with other attendees, the couple fired up a cook top and learned to prepare chili paste from chef Praijira Chan.
Wendy Boyer, 34, said the hands-on evening class was a Christmas gift from her husband.
“It was exactly the kind of thing the two of us enjoy,” said the mom of three boys. “It was a very different but fun date night.”
And it’s an experience the Boyers are sure to repeat.
“Oh, I’d definitely take another class with Ben,” Wendy Boyer said, chuckling. “Maybe he’ll learn to cook some other meals.”

This time of year, I often get asked to make a “low-fat” or “low-calorie” dessert, and I always find myself at odds with these requests. Personally, I don’t feel that a dessert should have any of those “qualities.” A dessert should have all of the fat and calories, which is what makes it “dessert.” It’s like a reward in a way, so why would you deprive yourself of the full experience?

We all have a few gems in our treasure of recipes. Here is one from my house. Chicken tikka masala is one of my favorite Indian-ish dishes, and one that you don’t have to worry about being true to the recipe — mainly because the only common ingredients in most recipes are chicken, yogurt and tomatoes. We make this at home in large batches and freeze half of it for later. “Later” for me is usually about midnight, when the siren song from the freezer overwhelms my need for rest. - read on for recipe.
