Adult & Family Classes
Handmade Pasta Night:
Farfalle & Ravioli
Saturday, April 25: 5–8pm
Pasta is often misunderstood, unfairly dismissed as too basic or too heavy. But once you’ve made it by hand—from flour to dough to finished shape—you see (and taste) its true character: elegant, deeply satisfying, and worthy of its place at the classic Italian table. Spend the evening with Chef Melissa learning how to work the dough, shape each piece, and create dishes that feel equally at home in a trattoria or your own kitchen.
On the menu:
Ravioli with Burst Cherry Tomato and Butter Sauce
Farfalle with Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese
Chopped Italian Salad
Chocolate Torte with Chocolate Ganache
Bring a favorite bottle of vino (or ask Lum’s Cellars for the perfect red), roll up your sleeves, and expect plenty of laughs while learning new skills. Perfect for friends, date night, or meeting like-minded pasta lovers—an Italian dinner party with none of the cleanup. As always, this one fills quickly.
$125 per person (adult class)
Chinese Takeout
Saturday, May 2: 5–8pm
Elevated comfort food, expert guidance, great company. Chef Melissa's Saturday evening class transforms Chinese takeout classics—a uniquely evolved American fusion with roots stretching back to the California Gold Rush—into dishes you can make brilliantly at home. No experience needed, just an appetite for a genuinely fun night. The menu you'll make includes:
Egg Rolls
General Tso's Chicken (Tofu option)
Vegetable Fried Rice
Stir-Fry Garlic Green Beans
The evening ends around our communal table, enjoying what you made. Whether it's date night, friends night out, or a solo adventure, you'll leave satisfied and skilled. Fortune favors the hungry—book today!
$125 per person (adult class)
Puff Pastry Masterclass
Sunday, May 3: 10am–1pm
If you’ve watched The Great British Bake Off, you’ve heard them debate regular vs. rough puff pastry. In this hands-on class, Chef Melissa breaks down rough puff: the quicker path to buttery, flaky layers without the all-day commitment. Roll, fold, and bake your way through a trio of recipes:
Savory Mushroom Tarts
Spinach & Artichoke Puff Pastry
Classic Cheese Danish
Join us for this fun, focused, and satisfying deep dive for anyone ready to level up their baking game.
$125 per person (for adults and ages 15+)

Flank Steak with Miso Butter
Crispy Shrimp Bao Buns
