Fall 2019 Cooking Classes!

Okay, so autumn doesn’t officially arrive until September 23 but forgive me for labeling it with an earlier date. After being busy with book-related travel, I’ve been missing teaching on my own turf. I’m very excited about returning to it, and just opened registration for fall classes. People have been emailing to ask and I’ve been apologizing for having been too busy to teach. But here are three opportunities for us to tinker, cook and eat together. And, yup, people snap lots of proud food photos!

Note the following >> All these classes are held in Santa Cruz at a teaching kitchen space that I rent. I do all the grocery shopping to ensure we use terrific ingredients. The class size is small (a cap of 12 people) so you get to learn a lot. Plus, these are hands-on, 4-hour classes. A general overview of my cooking classes is here.

Onward to the classes themselves!

Saturday, Sept. 14, 11am-3pm, Dim Sum Party

Let’s have a dim sum party, then you can take all that you’ve learned in class and unleash it on family and friends. The menu includes easy as well as challenging dishes. It’s designed for lots of takeaways. As with all my classes, no one leaves hungry. Check out the dim sum class menu and register.

Saturday, Oct. 19, 11am-3pm, Viet Street Food Any Day

Yes, awesome Viet street food is within your reach. I designed a great, fun menu that spotlights regional cooking and goes from snacks to a sweet. You’ll hit Viet notes and we’ll talk about techniques old and new plus how to source ingredients with ease. Get the street food class details and register.

Saturday, Nov. 16, 11am-3pm, Asian Tofu Bootcamp

Warm and tender, fresh tofu is like fresh cheese: It’s simply delicious. If you’re entranced (or mystified) by tofu, join me for this class! We’ll go from beans to curds PLUS make a pan-Asian menu using different kinds of tofu sold at mainstream markets and Asian grocers. Grab the tofu class details and register.
