Class Description
Escape to the sun-soaked Florida Keys without leaving Kansas City! Join us for a mouthwatering journey into the vibrant world of 'Floribbean' cuisine, where tropical flavors meet fresh seafood and zesty citrus. Throughout the evening, you'll discover the unique blend of Caribbean, Latin, and American flavors that define Floribbean cuisine. You'll learn essential techniques, from proper fish handling to balancing sweet and tart flavors in desserts. When it comes to teaching you the art of tropical cooking, there’s nobody better suited than one of our most popular instructors, Executive Chef Richard McPeake.

Your culinary journey begins with crafting a refreshing Ceviche Cocktail, where you'll learn the secrets of "cooking" seafood without heat. Next, you'll perfect the technique of searing succulent Sea Bass to a golden crisp, pairing it with a bright, tropical Mango Salsa. As a complement to our main course, you'll braise tender Asparagus and dress it in an elegant Prosecco Vinaigrette, adding a touch of sophistication to our island-inspired meal. Finally, satisfy your sweet tooth with miniature Key Lime Pie Dessert Shooters—a tangy, creamy finale that captures the essence of the Keys in every bite.

Throughout the evening, you'll pick up professional tips on knife skills, fish preparation, and balancing complex flavors. By the end of class, you'll have the confidence to bring the laid-back luxury of the Florida Keys to your own kitchen. Join us for this flavorful getaway and transport your taste buds to paradise—no passport required!
