Mid-day Gourmet: This series of classes is held on Monday or Tuesday afternoons, and is designed for those who'd like to spend a few enjoyable hours learning the basics about a particular cuisine or specialty. These classes are semi hands-on in nature, so be prepared to dive right in or sit back and relax, it's your choice!
Dinner and a Date: On Fridays, we throw an intimate dinner party in our kitchen and you are invited! Bring a hot date, your best friend or even your mom and come sit back, relax and enjoy while our chef entertains and delights you. Learn all about cutting-edge, delicious dishes while sampling inspired cocktails and fine varietal wines. This isn't just a cooking class, it's an experience! "Date Night" classes are "presentation" style and are priced based on 2 attendees. You will typically go home with the recipes on these evening unless otherwise noted.
Monthly Food & Wine Tasting: Each month we celebrate our new wine-finds with an evening devoted to the art of pairing wines with food! Our Chef & Sommelier walk you through the menu and wine selections, sharing their incredible passion for food and wine with the group. Typically we taste 5 wines and 5 exquisite small dishes. Unforgettable!
Cooking with Kids: Children love to cook, and this series of classes is designed just for them! We offer parent/child classes that allow you to join your young kids (ages 4-7) for some serious fun and an excellent experience in the kitchen, as well as classes held just for kids (ages 8-12). Typically, kids' classes are offered one Saturday afternoon a month and are hands-on style.
Girls Night Out: Once a month we invite gals and their pals to join us for a night on the town at Cooking with Class! Sometimes we make Martinis and Appetizers - other nights we Wine & Dine or enjoy Sushi & Sake. Either way we have sophisticated fun and sparkling conversation - no boys allowed!
Specialty Classes: From time to time we offer classes outside of our regularly scheduled curriculum for those interested in delving deeper into subjects such as sushi making, advanced techniques and specialty ingredients or cookware. Look for a wide range of specialty classes interspersed throughout our class schedule!
Wine Dinner: A few times a month - we are joined for our Friday night Dinner & a Date series by our resident sommelier - Katie Finn-Coleman! When Katie is here, the emphasis shifts from just the food being presented to the pairing of the food with her extraordinary wines. You will be treated to a 5 or 6 course meal along with some of the superstars from our wine collection, along with the knowledge of the dynamic duo of Andie & Katie. Our chef doesn't use recipes on these nights in order to create the intricate pairings, so you are welcome to take notes about the incredible food!
Simply Trader Joes: Our most popular series - based completely on the terrific food & products from our local La Quinta TJ's! We have partnered with them to help you learn fantastic recipes that can be made completely from their products. Each month you'll learn a whole new set of recipes featuring what's new in store and beyond. If you shop at Trader Joes you do not want to miss this class!
Workshops: On certain Sundays - we like to turn our kitchen into a place to get hands-on experience in the art of things like pizza making, cake decorating, and fresh pasta! These workshops typically last from 3-5 hours and are totally hands on in nature, so we take a smaller group. Be prepared to get cooking along with your chef instructor, and have the most fun you've ever had in the kitchen!
