Sur La Table, French for "on the table,"
has always been the Los Angeles go-to place for truffle oil, crab leg snappers and other sundry dining items. Conveniently located at the
Original Farmers Market on 3rd and Fairfax, the prices are a little less
shameless than Williams Sonoma, they sell tons of fun trinkets for gift bags and, as I had recently found out, they teach
cooking classes.

| Yep, I did this. |
Time Warner treated us to a night of French epicurean lessons, and the fabulous sit-down meal, where we could enjoy the fruit our labors. Of course we washed the whole thing down with bottles (and bottles!) of wine, then were sent on our merry way with culinary gift bags.

I recommend taking a class, even if a seasoned cook, just to brush up on some new tips and ideas. While it may be considered pretentious to "over-pronounce French words with a French accent" (the hilarious complaint in
Friends with Kids) it's honorable to be able to pronounce the dishes you learned how to cook yourself. It's even better to cook with
all that butter.
