Cooking Essentials FREE Seminar: Unscrambling Eggs
Often undervalued eggs are one of the most versatile ingredients in our pantries. A simple well cooked egg can be an amazingly luxurious experience without a luxurious price. With the guidance of our Chef throughout this seminar, you will get to crack a few eggs and try your hand at: frying a perfect over-easy egg; poaching an egg to get that unspoiled sphere and learn to achieve that smooth roll on that omelet as it slides out of the pan. After honing your technique in this class you will no longer need to scramble all of your eggs.
