It could be said (though not in any textbook that I’ve ever read) that a little bit of alcohol makes the world go round. Beer, wine, booze, liquor, hooch, spirits, sauce, grog, krunk juice, the hard stuff, cocktails, brew, firewater, liquid courage, social lubricant, and aqua vitae (water of life): no matter what you call it, alcohol is inexorably fused to the heart of human culture. We drink it to celebrate a special occasion, to socialize and have a good time, to unwind at the end of a day…and to cook with.
In these free cooking classes on video, learn how to make three tasty recipes with everybody’s favorite pastime: alcohol. Our expert chef will show you step-by-step tips on how to cook filet mignon with a red wine sauce, tequila lime shrimp with, you guessed it, Jose Cuervo, and bananas foster with rum sauce. Take some time to enjoy the finer things in life. Block out an afternoon, go to your local liquor store and stock up, and take some time to make at least one of these recipes this weekend. And who’s to say you can’t spill a little of that hooch down your gullet while you listen to the sizzle of the shrimp on the barbie.
