Love food but tired of cooking for one? The Dirty Apron Cooking School is bringing city singles together in a class designed to help students meet their match in the kitchen. The class will be a no-pressure combination of cooking, wining, dining and dating, matching male and female students together to co-create gourmet dishes.

With 20 spaces available, students will have the opportunity to meet 10 like-minded food lovers. Paired up at random, each student will cook smoked salmon blinis with lemon yogurt, harrissa prawns with herb salad, seared Hallumi with pomegranate molasses, herb crusted lamb medallions, and chocolate soufflé with chocolate dipped strawberries; rotating between stations to mingle and meet as they cook and eat.  Breaking the ice a little further will be Michaela Morris and Michelle Bouffard of House Wine, who will offer commentary with each dish to help demystify wine pairings (and possibly the opposite sex).

The first Singles in the City class will run on Wednesday, July 31^st and will continue once each month thereafter. Each student is guaranteed to leave at the very least with a few new recipes. Hopefully they’ll pick up a few new phone numbers, too.  For more information please visit www.dirtyapron.com
