Class Description:
Join us for a culinary journey through California's vibrant, light, and fresh cuisine. This hands-on cooking class will transport your senses to the sun-drenched fields and coastal waters of the West Coast. Your guide is CCKC Head Instructor and Executive Chef Melissa Houston, who has travelled the globe cooking and teaching for over 30 years. Hailing from the West Coast, Melissa uses her wealth of culinary experience to put her own unique spin on regional and global cuisine that is both healthy and delicious.

Your culinary adventure begins with a refreshing Citrus Avocado, Almonds & Baby Greens Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette. This vibrant salad showcases the best of the Golden State's produce: creamy avocados, crisp greens, and a bright and simple dressing. Next up we’re crafting the perfect Benedict – a decadent start to brunch where you will assemble succulent Blue Crab cakes, master the art of poaching eggs, and create a velvety hollandaise sauce.  Capping off our brunch is a light and sweet Seasonal Sorbet with Fresh Berries paired with Sparkling French Lemonade. You will squeeze your own lemons to create this perfect mid-day mocktail comprised of simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, sparkling soda water, and garnished with a sweet strawberry, a perfect way to toast the sunny spirit of California!

Throughout the class, you'll not only acquire valuable cooking techniques but also gain an appreciation for the unique flavors and ingredients that make California cuisine so exceptional.
