Pan Roasted Summer Feast

Get ready for a sun‑soaked, flavor‑forward evening in the kitchen with Chef Nick, where summer produce shines and every dish feels like it came straight from the garden. In this lively, hands‑on class, you’ll chop, stir, sear, and plate your way through a vibrant seasonal menu while learning the chef’s favorite techniques for building bold, balanced flavor.

You’ll master pan‑roasted chicken with a glossy balsamic raspberry sauce, create a silky spinach orzotto, and roast a rainbow of peak‑season vegetables to caramelized perfection. Then finish on a sweet note with a warm, comforting strawberry rhubarb crisp—the ultimate summer dessert.

Expect a fun, social cooking experience packed with chef tips, fresh ingredients, and plenty of opportunities to get involved. And yes—you’ll head home with all the recipes so you can recreate this summer feast anytime.

Participation Cooking Class: Aprons and workstations will be set up for you while your Chef-Instructor walks you through each course and giving you lots of tips and tricks along the way.
