[ action | open | mingle style ] Cooking Class
[Piper had the cooking lab set up and ready to go. She was nervous as all heck, but she was as ready to do this as she was ever going to be. She found herself questioning why she was doing this, but no point in running that through her head now.]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Cooking Class.

[She gave them all a somewhat nervous smile.]

This is a first for me, so I'm looking for a lot of feedback on this one. What are you interested in learning? What are you current skills? Stuff like that. We can do recipe courses, like what you see on a cooking show, or we can teach specific techniques for people who are looking for something more rudimentary.

[She picked up her apron.]

I have some extra aprons in the back, so grab one if you didn't bring your own. Cooking can get pretty messy, even when you know what you're doing.

[She put the apron on, and, while everyone was getting theirs, handed out a sheet of paper with a recipe on it.]

We're going to start with a simple recipe today so I can figure out where everyone is in their skill level.

{OOC: MINGLE IT UP!! I'll make a comment below so people can thread with Piper specifically. I'm also going to set up a feedback thread so characters can leave feedback. There's also a post on Piper's journal for the class where people can leave recipe requests for future classes, as well as questions for future classes about techniques.}

Excuse me, Teacher?

[ It should be a crime for Haruka to roll up her shirtsleeves and put an apron on. She makes everyone else look bad, aesthetically. ]

These measurements don't have to be exact, right?

[Piper shook her head.]

Not for this. A lot of it's to taste. If we were baking, I'd say yes. But I went for something easy to start.

Unless, of course, you're way off...

[ Haruka grins and shows Piper her bowl. It's probably enough for a dozen chickens.

What? She overmeasured one ingredient, and then compensated. ]
Not proportionally.

[This is far from Euphie's first cooking class since the opening of the school in Marina. Teachers for it seem to keep slipping away—her brother included. She hopes it's different this time. She always hopes it will be different.

As far as the food goes, she might have benefited from a continuous teacher because she is not great at this. Then again, yesterday shook her up a little which might account for some of her chicken fail.]

[ Todd has come out to this class, because it really seems like he should be better at cooking than he is, considering how long he and Neil have lived independently now.

When he sees Euphie he makes his way over, only looking a bit uncomfortable in the apron he's been provided with... ]


Hi. [ He smiles and angles his head slightly to look at her dish, though he's honestly not judging. ] How's your chicken going?

Todd, hi. [She smiles at him. At least she couldn't remember him seeing anything inappropriate in her dreams and that was something.]

I think it might not be much of an improvement over the raw version. Are you having better luck?

[ He snickers, and shrugs. ]

I guess I'll find out. Mine's not ready yet.

[ He took his time - too much of it, really. ]

I'm not all that hopeful.

[Tieria was watching. He was actually doing fairly decent. He was good at following instructions, but thinking outside the box was where he had the problem.

He took a moment to glance at Euphie next to him. Then at his.

His Innovade tendencies to want to be right and even a little smug about it wanted to point out she'd done something wrong. However, he held that back. There was a chance, albeit a small one, that he'd done something wrong.]


Ours look different.

[That was a safer thing to say.]

[ The apron is really what initially set off Todd's awkward anxiety, though being expected to cook is not something he's as comfortable with as he should be, considering how long he's been away from home. Which, of course, is exactly why he decided to drop in.

He frowns slightly at the recipe on the paper, studying it seriously before he even begins thinking about cooking it.

What? It's intimidating. ]

[ so elena's not exactly the best cook, but she's going to try. cereal and coffee aside, she's mostly relied on takeout the last few years. maybe being a vampire means she doesn't need food necessarily, but she likes to eat and eating does curb cravings. not to mention she lives with bonnie, who definitely still needs to something edible in the apartment.

she chooses an apron, puts it on, and sets to work, trying to follow the directions just right.

[ Stefan might be the better cook in the family, but Damon's not all too bad at it. In fact, he might be a bit of a natural at it because his parmesan chicken is looking all five star-ish even if he's just basically spent the better part of the last hour staring at Elena's ass. There's a reason why he chose to work in this particular section of the class. Clearly wanted the best view.

Walking over; having decided to finally say hello and take a look at how Elena's doing, he makes a face as he moves to stand beside her.
]

Being a good chef is like being in love, Elena. It's all about the heart. It's not this. [ He taps a finger on his temple. ] Forget the recipe. What does your heart tell you? More salt? More pepper? More spice?

[ don't think she didn't notice you back there, damon. in fact, she side-eyed you with quite the expression of disbelief and curiosity when you walked in and grabbed an apron.

but, considering she's not here to wonder why you would need a cooking class, she concentrated on her own food and talked to the people actually around her. (she's really not doing well with this sauce btw. it's thin and definitely on too high a temperature.) it's really a sign of how frustrated she is that she's answering him seriously. she throws her hands up and turns towards him.
] I... don't know. Shouldn't a recipe be right? I followed it exactly.

[ Haruka's chicken has finished baking!! The only problem is, she's got way too much: she prepared roughly a double batch of the crust mixture, so she ended up baking twice as much food. This also means she'll be one of the last people to finish up today: she put both pans in at the same time so she has to allow them longer to bake.

She doesn't seem bothered by this, however, removing the pans with an absent grin. It smells good. ]
