Truly Julie hoping to spice it up at The Brooklyn Kitchen.
I’ll admit it. My kitchen skills have become emaciated throughout my years of being a Manhattan working girl. Yes…I’m that girl that houses closet items in her oven. I have plenty of excuses….I live in SOHO where every other door is a yummy restaurant…there’s no legit grocery store…it’s not time nor cost effective when you’re cooking for one…etc. But this Valentine’s day…I’m going to try to make an effort to love myself and those dear to me by cooking more (well… honestly…cooking period!). Eating out all the time is not healthy…and cooking is a life skill that brings people together. And now you can make learning to cook a hot date! The Brooklyn Kitchen which sits right at the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint has cooking classes 7 days a week (special couples’ themed cooking classes on Valentine’s day). And since it’s a storefront as well…you can grab many of your necessities right there. I got this idea from HowAboutWe.com…a dating site that focuses on unique experiences rather than algorithms. I grew up in a house where my mom cooked amazing meals multiple times a day…so I’ve always equated preparing a meal for someone as the ultimate act of endearment. I hope this post marinates with you enough to go sweat over the oven! Who needs cupid when you can be the chef spreading the love!
