Valentine's Day Special - Fresh Pasta Romantica with Edible Flowers
A Valentine's treat for a very special couple!
Why cram into an overcrowded, busy restaurant? Instead, spend the evening together crafting the most gorgeous, fresh pasta from scratch, finished off with a dessert that would make Cupid blush!
Work as a couple, one on one with Chef Mark as we go step by step making fresh pasta from flour, eggs and a touch of salt. Then watch romance bloom as we embed the pasta sheets with fresh edible flowers and herbs. It's a spectacular visual treat that will make any evening special. We then put together a simple toasted garlic and almond romesco sauce to top it off - purely WOW!
A Valentine's dinner isn't complete without marbled white and dark chocolate dipped strawberries. Chef will show his special technique raising the bar on this traditional lovers' treat.
Adoro la pasta .. adoro la tua vita! (love the pasta… love your life!)
If bringing your own wine, chef recommends an Oregon Coast Pinot Noir, Italian Barbera, or California Chardonnay if white is preferred.
*The ticket is on per person basis* No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets in case you wish to recreate the dish on your own 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 (or taste testing).
Chef Mark has a rich family history with food. His grandfather ran the busy San Francisco produce market, his grandmother was a whiz at anything Italian, and his mother is a winemaker. At a young age he attended the Institute of Culinary Education, then moved to Northern California to work in the kitchen at the famous Auberge Du Soleil in the Napa Valley.
A lengthy career working with gourmet food products gave him an opportunity to work closely with hundreds of the world's top chefs and culinary professionals. After much travel he developed a deep passion for gourmet ingredients and embarked on a personal journey, opening his own artisan cheese shop and catering company encompassing all his dedication for food, cooking, and the passion of good eating.
The class will take place in Chef's home, where Chef will implement utmost safety and sanitation measures. Guests are invited to BYOB wine, champagne or beer. You are encouraged to bring reusable containers to take any leftover home. The chef has a small cat - in case you have allergies or need medication beforehand. The chef can put him in another room too.
