Bite Club, Tae Kwon Do, Learning to Sail (FLBTB-201)If you don't have time to enjoy good food with good company... make time! That's what six longtime friends do every month when their cooking club gathers for a gourmet feast. The rules are simple: prepare a dish, invite friends and eat.
Then meet a film producer and an accountant who traded their ordinary dinner-and-a-movie dates for leg sweeps and flying punches. Follow this busy "power couple" as they spend quality time together at the Manhattan Tae Kwon Do center.
Finally, sail away with a big-city lawyer who took a sailing class that changed her life. Once a landlubber, Aylin Bumin is now enjoying New York City from a whole new perspective.
Cooking Club Facts:
- Choosing a theme is a good way to ensure the dishes complement each other.
- Prepare as much as you can beforehand to minimize kitchen chaos.
- Don't just invite friends. A cooking club is a great way to meet new people.
