Cooking class at Al-Baraki


If Sunday’s review of Al-Baraki in Cohoes intrigued you, how about a class on Lebanese cooking? There’s one scheduled for 2:30 to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 5. Students will learn how to make lentil-vegetable soup, salad with garlic dressing, hummus, moussaka and dessert. The cost is $50 for the class and dinner afterward. Reservations and prepayment required; call 238-1238. Full details here.

The restaurant is located at 133 Remsen St.

    I was all excited about this till I saw the price. $50 seems a little steep for this sort of thing.

    Including dinner? Seems reasonable.

    $50 seems reasonable to me for both a meal and for a class on how to make that meal. But some people get paid for there culinary education learning how to make burgers at McDonalds. So I guess its relative.

    $50 is a pretty standard price for a good cooking class–sometimes the price might be less but then there is often an additional “materials charge”. And this includes dinner!

    $50 is steep relative to menu prices at this place.

    If the only thing you learned was how to make the garlic paste it would still be well worth it !
