Steam fogs the pan and the room hums with low conversation as you and your partner trade spoonfuls of browned butter and sage. The instructor moves between stations with practiced calm, guiding hands to shape fresh angel hair and coax burrata into a silky mound. This is a Boston date night that swaps crowded restaurants for a shared kitchen rhythm: chop, sauté, taste, laugh.
