With the warm (hot) summer months are ahead, this class will help you keep your cool with light and fresh meal ideas for the entire family. Join John Chico for great flavor combinations, ingredients, and sauce suggestions for making one-bowl meals. With a blend of satisfying grains, fresh veggies, and healthy proteins, this is a great way to maintain a healthy eating plan while indulging on the flavors you love. You'll learn to mix and match tastes, textures, and colors that follow a regional theme, and how to create your own favorites. You'll enjoy tonight's combos with this menu: Mediterranean Bowl with Tahini Dressing, Summer Garden Bowl with Garlic-Basil Vinaigrette, and Thai Salad Bowl with Peanut Dressing. This menu will be paired with wine. 

Join us for a delicious small-plates menu all prepared in a portable outdoor oven. John Chico will show us how to use such an oven as he cooks up a variety of proteins and vegetables to demonstrate its versatility. You'll enjoy Marinated Artichoke Hearts, steamed ahead and finished in the outdoor oven and served with savory Remoulade Sauce, Gambas al Ajillo (Spanish-Style Garlic Shrimp), Pork Souvlaki Skewers with tangy Tzatziki, Meatball Sliders with Cheese and Onions, and fresh Pineapple in Rum Caramel. This menu will be paired with wine.

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.
