We're on the mailing list for View Point restaurant and café, and so we receive all their promotional announcements. This one I find interesting: they are offering cooking classes, starting on September 2. Call 042-44-80-15 to reserve your spot.
Their food is "gourmet" and although I´ve only been at the café (fantastic sandwiches, to-die-for pastries, etc., and pricey) and I have tasted their catering (top notch, with excellent presentation, service and as I remember, an incredible risotto and outstanding desserts) I would venture that whatever one learns in their course would be good for showing off when hosting a dinner party at home.
For those out there interested in the subject, there are lots of cooking courses to be had at the Universitario Gastronomico de Punta del Este, located across from the back parking lot of the Punta Shopping mall. The UG is structured like a formal degree issuing university institution, hence its name, but it also offers short courses or "seminars" on everything from olive oil selection to Jewish cuisine 101. Check out their website for the course offering, www.ug.edu.uy, email info@ug.edu.uy, or call 042-48-07-45.

If we lived in the area (we live in Montevideo), we would jump on cooking classes at View Point.
ReplyDeleteView Point is a great restaurant. We ate there a little while back and wrote about it in a blog post.
For dinner I recommend the sampler... It was outstanding. The service there was top notch as well. We had 3 servers for our table of 3 adults and 1 baby...
Oh yes, we agree, the risotto is outstanding...
