Thanks to Sur La Table for pointing out that Maria Simmons' class on Friday will be "Tools of the Global Kitchen," not, um, risotto as, um, I reported earlier here. Ms. Simmons is going to show how to use the stovetop smoker, cataplana, cocotte, paella pan and mandoline. A stovetop smoker is pretty much what it says; I have one, and I love the way foods come out. A cataplana is a special Portuguese copper cooking vessel; it's also the name of the dish. A cocotte is like a Dutch oven. A paella pan should be self-explanatory, and a mandoline is a slicer that yields all kinds of wonderful, thin shapes, like julienne veggies and wafer-thin slices. The menu includes Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp, Clam Pork Sausage and Bacon Stew, Chicken with Preserved Lemon and Moroccan Spices, Chicken Shrimp and Chorizo Paella, and Jicama and Carrot Slaw with Fresh Pineapple and Cilantro. It's $59, starts at 6:30 p.m. and you can sign up here.
