Cook Together on Valentine's Day
SOLD OUT

Cook a delicious meal with that special someone on Valentine's Day. Chefs Christopher Greenwald and Ciara Meaney will lead guests as they create a Romantic French Bistro menu inspired by their recent trip to the French countryside. Learn fun cooking techniques and then sit and relax at the candlelit table as you enjoy the meal you created together.

Magic Mushrooms

Not that kind! I'm talking about the magic of foraging, finding and cooking with amazingly delicious wild mushrooms. And this is proving to be a great mushrooming year. Our January Wild Mushroom Foray class is now full but we have more on the schedule. These always-popular classes combine a beautiful traipse thru the hills above the vineyards with a warm and cozy lunch. Some lunches are held here at the Relish Culinary Center; others are offered at local scenic wineries. Check out the upcoming classes, including the multiple events as part of the Healdsburg Wild Mushroom Weekend in February.

Relish Kids in the Kitchen

Kids ages 6 - 12 make all the food from scratch and enjoy dinner. Mexican Fiesta dinner on Tuesday, February 21, 4:30 - 6:30 pm.  $50 More info

Snout-to-Tail Butchery

It's back! Our wintertime Snout-To-Tail Pork Butchering class with chef Dino Bugica of Diavola. The February 4 date is sold out but the February 25 date is still available. This is a unique, completely hands-on butchering experience where participants each break down a whole pig and take home the all the cuts. With a maximum of six pigs per class, class size is very limited so sign up soon.

Perfect Braises

How do restaurants create those melt-in-your-mouth short ribs? Find out at this Mastering Braises class with chef Tracey Shepos.
