January 22, 2019: "Colorful Columbus" Canvas Painting Class @ Le Meridien Columbus, The Joseph

January 24 – Tom Kai Gai

Next to the popular noodle dish, Pad Thai, the rich and fragrant soup known as Tom Kha Gai (chicken-coconut soup) is one of Thailand’s best-loved dishes. Thai cooking relies on five essential flavors – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and spicy (and sometimes creamy). You’ll incorporate each of these with an array of familiar and exotic ingredients. At the end of class, share a bowl with your classmates and take a quart home to enjoy with your family – it’s even better the next day!

Students ages 7 and younger must have an adult remain in the kitchen at all times. All parents are welcome to stay, watch, participate and eat! Please contact us directly at uakidscook@gmail.com with any food allergy or safety issues.

Classes are $45. Contact 1400 Food Lab regarding a discount for signing up for all three Asian cooking classes in advance.

Food for Thought Kitchen is run by Carrie Klug and Olivia Hickey. Carrie has loved cooking since childhood and has years of experience in restaurants as well as running her own baking and catering service. Olivia learned to cook while studying in Italy and brings her knowledge of psychology and her experiences as a teacher to the partnership. They are friends and working parents who want to offer their love of cooking, learning and everyday adventures to central Ohio. Students throughout Columbus are welcome, and our classes are particularly convenient to Hilliard, Upper Arlington, Marble Cliff, Grandview, OSU Campus area, and Clintonville.

With the release of Jesse McCartney’s new single “Better With You” — his first new music since his well-received 2014 album ‘In Technicolor’ — it’s worth noting that the New York-born singer, songwriter, producer, and actor has had the kind of career that most young artists aspire to. With multiple platinum-selling tracks and a songwriting credit on Leona Lewis’s “Bleeding Love” under his belt, McCartney is ready to introduce his fans to who he is today.

His fans have been waiting almost four years since ‘In Technicolor,’ one of Spin Magazine’s Top Pop Albums of 2014. “It was a transitional time where I just let myself have some space from my career and get some perspective on life, something I really hadn’t had the freedom to do since I was 10. Then, a friend invited me to come to Nashville to do a songwriting camp for other artists,” McCartney recollects. “It triggered a huge surge in creative energy that led me to put this project and team together.” Now that he’s moving, McCartney has no intention of slowing down. He plans to release more music throughout 2018 and bring his dedicated fans along for the ride.

The deliberate attention McCartney pays to his craft is evident in the new songs he is gearing up to release this year, including “Better With You,” which he co-wrote with Brandyn Burnette, Molly Moore, and producer Rob Knox (Justin Timberlake, Rihanna). The acoustic-guitar-driven pop song is more sonically organic than the stylized, ’80s-inspired songs on In Technicolor and McCartney has re-vamped his visuals with art direction by Dewey Saunders (Anderson .Paak, Bridgit Mendler). “It feels fresh to me,” McCartney says. “This is a really strange time,” he says. “Things are contentious. I think a song about finding a safe place with a partner is an uplifting message.” Don’t miss Jesse McCartney at Newport Music Hall on January 25th!
