We had a great time last week checking out our first class at the new(ish) Culinary Loft at the Des Moines Social Club. The Culinary loft was specifically designed with the intention of hosting cooking classes and other food related workshops on the second floor of the Des Moines Social club.
The particular class we chose to attend was was a”South of The Border” class, and it was delicious! It was focused more on the fun of cooking a recipe together with your new friends (the other class attendees) and then sharing a meal together, then leaning about certain cooking techniques. So it definitely helped break the ice when they broke out the endless wine right away.
After getting acquainted, we broke into groups and each group followed a recipe to prepare a course of the meal, and then we all got together to chow down. Our class instructor came around to help with questions and give us tips. Some of the items we prepared were flank steak, beef stew, empanadas, and dulce de leche cookies. Everything was delicious and a little more special because it was prepared with love…awwww.
They offer adult and children’s cooking classes at the loft in addition to all of the other great programing at the social club. If you’re looking for something new and fun to try to spice up your date-nights or a new activity for you or your 
kid to do, check out the programing at the social club (including 
cooking classes at the loft)!
