Give your sweetheart an experience to remember and not just another food processor to store in the cabinet. Viking Cooking School (1107 Highland Colony Parkway, 601-898-8345) offers opportunities for the two of you to get out and try something different—learning to prepare new dishes—so that later, you can stay in and enjoy a special evening.
Aside from the school's classes on cake decorating and basic kitchen skills, the Viking schedule offers a tempting series of Date Night classes.
Date Night in Paris is one example. Learn how to make a meal to remember with savory tomato tart tatin, coq au vin, crêpes Suzette, and salad with walnut vinaigrette. The cost is $89 per person and includes the food as well as the instruction.
Viking has other Date Night classes, too: Decadent Dinner, French Dinner and Special Occasion. The Romantic Dinner teaches you to make wild mushroom and brie beggar's purses; mixed greens with bacon, apples and red wine vinaigrette; pan-seared beef tenderloin with sweet potato-crusted scallops and lemon-pepper beurre blanc; grilled asparagus; and strawberries and cream-filled crêpes with warm chocolate sauce.
The Romantic Dinner class costs $109 per person. All the classes vary, so visit viking http://www.cookingschool.com/consumer/cookingschool/classes for times, prices and ingredients.
