Elegance Is Key

Learn to cook for some of your friends

By Merritt Martin

Published on March 27, 2008

After reading the description for Molly "The Dining Diva" Fowler's Elegant Dinner for Friends class, I'm not so sure I need to go. Or, rather, I'm not sure some of my friends would know what to do with a salad of pears, Roquefort and pecans. Pan-seared salmon on wilted spinach? Some of my peeps still claim a 4-year-old's stance of "fish is stinky and green things are gross." The tropical tart, however, might pique a few interests. Damn, I gotta get new friends. Check out what Molly's dishin' up 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Central Market, Lovers Lane at Greenville Avenue. The class is $55. Call 214-361-5754 to register.
