Make Your Own Sushi
My husband and I had so much fun at this class! I was a little nervous because 1) we were late because of traffic and 2) I’m not an Asian cuisine connoisseur so I was afraid the menu may be too authentic for my taste. We made four basic rolls, starting with the California. There were two raw fish options, plus crab, and all the traditional ingredients like avocado and cucumber. Chef Scott is high energy, fun, and engaging. He was very knowledgable and helpful. We learned so much and are confident enough to start making our own rolls at home. -

French Wine Scholar Certification Program (FWS)
The program is excellent. It differs in format from many classes taught in that there is a real effort to give context to the regions through discussion of history as well as soils, topography, climate and grapes from each region. The class is not producer driven, but is terroir driven, and teaches students about France as a whole as well as the specific regions. -
