In this fun, hands-on social cooking class, you will learn how to prepare and sear fresh salmon full of healthy fats and nutrients so that it is perfectly cooked yet moist and juicy. You will also learn to cook polenta to its creamy luscious perfection and prepare simple yet elegant asparagus to complete the fish entree. Chef will also showcase his special creme brulee, prepared with sous vide method, to add a sweet component to the meal. A local wine from Northern Virginia will be selected by the Chef to pair with the finished dishes you have cooked.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you wish to recreate these at home after the class. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, wearing your mask.
