E p i c u r e a n    S p r i n g

As each day gets longer and warmer, we are beginning to see the fresh flavors of spring here in the Northern California wine country—snow peas and pea shoots, green garlic and spring onions, artichokes and asparagus. So many shades of crisp, bright green! Join us for a class where we'll combine these local, seasonal ingredients with fun and interactive techniques to create delicious dishes and find renewal and inspiration in Spring.

Or look ahead to our summer classes where you'll find warm weather menus and al fresco cooking classes.

Tapas Party

The shared Tapas tableWe can't wait to kick off Memorial Day Weekend with an Authentic Spanish Tapas party with chef Ciara Meaney. We'll cook the varied and delicious tapas dishes con mucho gusto and then share our small plates of delicious Spanish food with fantastic local wines.

Perfect Gnocchi

Gnocchi is challenging—when it's good it's amazing, but when it's not good, it can be heavy and rubbery. At this Gnocchi! class, you'll learn how to make the amazing variety with chef Tracey Shepos. Not only will guests make classic potato gnocchi, chef Tracey will also share an authentic Ricotta Gnocchi, a lighter, easier version. Of course, we'll make some sauces, an Italian salad and dessert to round out our Gnocchi meal.

Summer Desserts

Luscious pavlovasPastry Chef Shelly Kaldunski, who we just love because she's such a fun and amazing teacher, will be doing monthly baking classes at Relish. Next up: we take full advantage of the flavors of summer at Baking with Summer Fruit. At Shelly's classes there's something for every-body, from beginners to more advanced bakers, and lots of hands-on participation. All guests are sure to leave with increased confidence and new baking skills, plus dependable and delicious recipes. And in July we'll do something completely different with Shelly as we create Keep-Your-Cool Desserts for hot summer days.
