Classic Valentine's Day Dinner

Rather than standing in line at a crowded restaurant, invite your friends over for brunch. This class will teach you a selection of great sweet and savory brunch dishes that include: frittata; sweet and savory crêpes; scones with citrus curd; and of course, boozy punches!

Good wines and simple but elegant fare are hallmarks of the French brasserie tradition, and steak is a favorite order. You’ll learn to prepare: oysters mignonette; frisée aux lardons; steak au poivre; pommes Anna and haricots verts aux champignons et noisettes.

Nothing beats the rich flavor and perfectly al dente texture of handmade pasta. So let's practice making our own pastas by hand and concoct some rich fillings, learning how to stuff ravioli, tortellini and cannelloni. As we make these three heavenly pastas, we'll complete them with homemade sauces that are the perfect complement to each shape and filling. You'll handcraft: lemon ricotta ravioli with safe brown butter, roasted red pepper tortellini in fra diavolo sauce, and beef angolotti in brodo.

While paella may be Spain's most well-known dish, the country has so much more to explore. It’s a culinary dream-spot for trying new flavors and combinations of ingredients. This class will help you discover new favorites, including stuffed piquillo peppers; pan con tomate; grilled shrimp with Romesco sauce; pork marinated in pomegranate and a watercress salad.
