Mediterranean Elegance with Chef Fernando

Join Chef Fernando for an unforgettable evening inspired by the sun-drenched flavors of the Mediterranean. This hands-on culinary experience blends refined technique with rustic soul—perfect for a romantic night out, a gathering with friends, or anyone who loves cooking with elegance and heart.

🌿 The Menu:

• White Wine Shrimp with Sautéed Tomatoes & Grapes
A delicate starter of tender shrimp nestled among blistered tomatoes and warm grapes, kissed with garlic and finished in a luxurious white wine-butter sauce.

• Steak alla Pizzaiola
Prime beef seared and slowly simmered in a vibrant tomato sauce with garlic, capers, cherry tomatoes, and dry wine—classic coastal comfort with elevated flair.

• Lemon-Herb Orzo Salad
A fresh and citrusy complement to the evening, this bright orzo salad features arugula, basil, pine nuts, and Parmesan, tossed in a light lemon-olive oil vinaigrette.

• A Fabulous Italian Dessert
We’ll end on a sweet note with a surprise Italian dessert—beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor to complete the evening in true Mediterranean style.

Bring your favorite wine (BYOB welcome), enjoy the layered charm of the coast, and take home the skills and recipes to recreate the magic whenever the mood strikes.

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child (This is a BYOB class, so use your discretion.)

YES: Couples (live in the same household)

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
