After walking down the aisle as a married couple, a new journey begins when the happy bride and groom arrive home from the honeymoon. Among the exciting date nights, there will be predictable days filled with meals to cook, dishes to clean and laundry to do. Take our helpful tips so you will be prepared to jazz up the mundane tasks of cooking daily dishes.
- Consider taking cooking classes together as a couple or with your bridal party before you walk down the aisle.
A great way to learn new savory recipes is to take cooking classes. Mississippi offers great options for cooking classes with a wide array of classes offered at The Everyday Gourmet, Farmer’s Table in Livingston, and Viking Cooking School at The Alluvian Hotel.
Learn about stocks, sauces, braising, poaching, roasting, and baking in an interactive setting with the instruction from executive, professional chefs.
- Create a twist on the typical bridal shower by having a recipe swap or “Stock the Kitchen” shower.
Any great cook must have the recipes and tools to prepare scrumptious meals and desserts. A recipe swap is the perfect setting for the women in the bride and groom’s family to come together to exchange tried and true recipes. A “Stock the Kitchen” bridal shower also helps you gather the kitchen essentials from cookware to cookbooks and if you are lucky, maybe even that KitchenAid stand mixer you’ve always wanted!
- Learn what is in season and what to stock in your pantry.
Becoming familiar with fruits and vegetables that are in season and putting those on your grocery list will save you money along with reaping the benefits of their rich flavor and nutrients. Here is a handy list of seasonal produce to consider when you head to the grocery store.
