How to Make Fresh Corn Salad - Recipe by Chef David Lawrence - Thankful Thursday

A friend of mine emailed me not long ago to tell me about a demonstration cooking class he thought I'd enjoy attending. Why not, I thought. Sounds fun. At the time I wasn't familar with the chef teaching the class - Chef David Lawrence. I did a little homework to check him out.

Needless to say,  I decided to attend the cooking class. Of course my friend had me at "cooking" and this sounded like a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. It was. I have to say Chef David is gracious, but best of all he is funny and engaging.
