"Relish Culinary Adventures offers classes in everything from wood-fired ovens to raising chickens at its center in Healdsburg, California, and a series of ongoing events around Sonoma County. 'On the Farm' events include farm tours, hands-on workshops featuring ingredients produced on-site and a four-course meal served with local wines. Chefs demonstrate recipes that highlight the farm’s specialty, whether it’s produce picked at its peak or artisan cheese at the height of flavor."

"On Saturdays, the small town features the Healdsburg Farmer's Market, where cooking demonstrations highlight seasonal ingredients. But Healdsburg also offers visitors a more hands-on appreciation of the fresh market fare. On the second Saturday of each month, nearby Relish Culinary Adventures hosts a cooking class in which students create a meal using ingredients they find at the market. It puts a whole new spin on a day at the market."
Dig Into Culinary Delight, More of Healdsburg by Carol Blackman of the Contra Costa Time and San Jose Mercury News

"Capturing the fleeting freshness of seasonal bounty — with food and wine grown within a stone’s throw of the table — is the raison d’etre of Quivira Vineyard’s new Farm-to-Table wine dinners, a series of four seasonal feasts served throughout the year at the Dry Creek Valley winery....For Relish Culinary Adventures, which started out giving cooking classes on local farms and has since opened a home base in Healdsburg, the dinners are a natural fit."

"Donna has been at the forefront of what's new and exciting in the food and wine obsessed culture of Sonoma County. [Relish Culinary Adventures] has been enthusiastically introducing students to the bounty of our area by literally taking them to the source of where many of these products are crafted....Consequently her clients have been given the rare opportunity to not only cook with the best ingredients possible, but to truly get a feel for how these products are grown or produced at the ground level."

"A new addition to Healdsburg, this great little cooking school across from the Hotel Healdsburg offers fun demonstrations, private events, talks and all types of classes in an eco-friendly, modern farmhouse-styled kitchen.
