Couples' Class

You won’t want to miss this class with John Chico with fresh fish and shellfish cooked in an outdoor pizza oven. Outdoor pizza ovens are great for a variety of foods, and you'll discover how simple the cooking process is with very tasty results. These recipes are great for lighter, healthier warm-weather meals. Our portable pizza oven uses propane and couldn’t be easier to move from deck to patio to picnic table. John will share his tips for cooking seafood dishes pizza oven-style, but these recipes are just as simple to prepare inside. You'll enjoy Oysters Rockefeller, Shrimp With Garlic and Sherry, Herb-Crusted Cod With Spring Mix Salad, and Fresh Peach Shortcake With Whipped Cream. This menu will be paired with wine.
