A Relish cooking class is the perfect complement to your wine country
experience. Step into a Healdsburg kitchen and meet the chefs, food
purveyors, and winemakers that make Sonoma County a food and wine
destination. Relish creates a relaxed, festive environment for everyone,
from beginners to seasoned chefs. Our professional chef-instructors will
ensure that you leave every class with new techniques, recipes, and ideas.
·
Cooking classes are held at various Sonoma County locations as listed
with each class description. Directions are
provided to class locations--please contact us for directions to
private homes.
·
Our photos provide a sense of
the variety and style of Relish classes, though please remember that each class is unique.
·
Students receive copies of all recipes and full
meal portions of all menu items unless otherwise noted on the
class description.
·
Demonstration
classes are
observation-style with students comfortably seated at tables facing
Relish's portable demo table with overhead mirror. Classes are
demonstration unless otherwise noted. Most demonstration classes
have 25-30 students and last 3 hours unless otherwise
noted.
·
Hands-on classes
allow students to cook the meal themselves. Typically, a
hands-on class consists of three parts: a brief lecture, cooking
under the guidance of the chef, and, of course, eating. Usually,
students work in small groups on one or more recipes in parallel
with the other groups. For a hands-on class, please dress in
comfortable, casual clothing and closed-toed shoes. Most hands-on
classes are limited to 16 students and last 3½ hours
unless otherwise noted.
·
Participation in a Relish
hands-on class places you in a typical cooking environment with
inherent risk. By registering for a Relish event, you agree to
release Relish and its staff, employees and contractors, from all
liability arising from direct or indirect damages or injury.
·
Students over
21 years of age will be offered two glasses of wine (or, at some classes,
aperitif, beer or cocktails) served with the food. Class participants may be asked to present
identification to prove that they are of legal California drinking age.
·
Staff for each class includes the chef-instructor, a Relish manager,
and at least two
volunteer assistants.
Often representatives from the class location, the winery whose wine
is poured for the event, or other special guests also participate in
the class.
· The number of
students ranges from 16 to 30, depending on the venue and the type of class.

We reserve the right
to substitute menu items and ingredients due to availability.
