OUT AND ABOUT: COOKING CLASS

I was invited to Cook Warehouse at their midtown location to attend a hands-on Holiday cooking class with dietitian Marissa Moore and Sprouts Farmers Market.   Marisa demonstrated easy holiday appetizers and cocktails; she gave us tips on how to entertain at home by creating simple bites such as her crostini with roasted grapes and a basil and walnut goat cheese and a salmon cake.   We were treated to a cocktail made with prosecco, pear puree and dices of fresh pears and small bites.  We then got a chance to step into Cook’s Warehouse state of the art kitchen and create our own.
I created a pear, prosciutto and goat cheese crostini and a hummus, black olive and rosemary crostini while my blogger buddy Milla of Happily Eating made hers with goat cheese, oregano, balsamic and prosciutto.  Sprouts Farmer’s Market which is fairly new to the Atlanta area provided the produce; there are more than 200 locations nationwide.  Sprouts is all about healthy living for less and believe that “healthy living is a journey and every meal is a choice.” They offer fresh, natural and organic produce at an affordable cost in a friendly famer’s market environment.    We ended the meal with an amazing Maple Ginger Pear Crumble that was amazing!! The recipe can be found on Marisa’s website, click here for recipe.  Sprouts Farmers Market provided us with a gift bag stuffed full with goodies.  A special thanks to Cook’s Warehouse, Sprouts and Marisa!

I received a complimentary class and meal but all opinions are mine.
