The old adage 'if you can read you can cook' is not really true. You must learn the language of the kitchen, how to read a recipe, measuring techniques, and doneness criteria before turning out a masterpiece.

Side dishes can sometimes make the meal, especially at the holidays. Do you know the best way to cook rice, how to make the fluffiest mashed potatoes, and why roasting vegetables brings out their sweetest flavor? You'll learn how in these classes.

These eight lessons will give you ideas and recipes for celebrating Valentine's Day in style.
