A Saturday Night Cooking Party - Seafood California-Style!

Boss coming to dinner? Or do you plan to host a holiday dinner? Take your dinner party repertoire up a notch with a Very Important Person (a/k/a VIP) menu, and learn how to impress your special guests with this elegant meal that will knock their socks off... and put a feather in your culinary cap!

In tonight’s class, you’ll get what you have always dreamed of… learn to cook a fabulous seafood dinner from a rock star instructor, our own Chef and Lead Instructor Jill Garcia Schmidt. Chef Jill has a laid-back teaching style that you’re sure to love and she’s excited to share her deep culinary experience. You’ll be amazed as she shows off her mad skills while divulging some of her favorite tips as she whips up a gourmet seafood meal with a California influence that’s sure to impress at your next dinner party.

Tonight’s recipes will take your cooking repertoire to another level as Chef Jill rolls out the red carpet with a gourmet menu that consists of Coastal Prawns with Citrus Butter and Red Chiles as tasty appetizers and follows up with a lovely salad with champagne vinaigrette.

Then, she’ll dive right into the water as she teaches a fancy-schmancy Pan Seared Scallops with White Wine and Herb Sauce, and Vegetable Rice Pilaf for our perfectly paired side. For dessert, Chef Jill will show you how to use a kitchen torch while creating a fantastic Crème Brulee for the grand finale.

We’ll end by dining on tonight’s seafood masterpieces. And, of course, we’ll pair our fabulous dishes with some lovely California wines. Now, that’s what I call a meal for a raise!
