New Jersey Date Night is a series on NJ Flavor by relationship writer Craig Rogers.
Sometimes even the most adventurous Garden State couple just wants to keep it super laid back, cozy and at home. The choice for date night simplicity can lead to a most fear-instilling question … What’s for dinner?
Not all of us are good in the kitchen. Learning a few cooking skills and picking up a few new recipes will help. These cooking classes in the Garden State will definitely keep you engaged and focused, and might provide a few unexpected laughs. Even if you know your way around the kitchen, taking a cooking class as a couple is a super stand-alone date night that will prep you for that date night at home.
Get ready for a New Jersey Date Night where you go to the head of the class!
Farm to Fork Fantastic
When you think of taking a class, shopping and eating probably don’t come to mind, but Heirloom Kitchen provides an experience that’s educational, tasty and unforgettable. From enjoying a meal in their dining room to checking out the expertly sourced kitchen and tabletop items in their store, you’d think you’d forget all about learning, but you certainly won’t.
Located in Old Bridge, the classes are posted on their website one month in advance and they fill up quickly. Some of the upcoming classes include “Pat LaFrieda Dry-aged Steakhouse” focusing on the ins and out of preparing the perfect steak along with delicious side dishes and “Date Night Pasta,” where you’ll learn how to create three dishes from different Italian regions.

The Couple Who Learns Together
Taking a cooking class will teach you new things all the while taking you both out of your normal routine. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet other couples and you’ll be totally prepared the next time your love says, “What’s for dinner?”
The biggest take-away might just be discovering the importance of doing something new in a place that’s different. That alone could be the best recipe of the night!
