PRIVATE COOKING CLASSES AND TEAM BUILDING EVENTS
SAMPLE MENU OPTIONS
Old World Paella
The traditional "national dish of Spain" was born in the vineyards and is traditionally cooked as lunch over a fire of grape vine trimmings. We will use small single burner stoves. This presents a wonderful and creative way for all to participate in preparing a treat to die for! The recipe is an adventure in itself and loads of fun. The reward at the end is well worth all the effort! We love to create this dish in groups of two or three. That way each "team" can embellish with their own recipe variations!
Appetizers: House made Spanish Tapas of Assorted Olives, Manchego Cheese bites, Sautéed Garlic Mushrooms
First Course: Mixed Green Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette
​
Entree: Paella with Chicken, Pork, Shrimp
Dessert: Caramelitas

Alfresco Grilled Pizza
Who doesn't like Pizza? We will show you how to form your own dough then cook it on a grill. Everyone adds the fresh toppings of their choice (a very creative endeavor) then back to the grill to finish. Grilled pizzas have a terrific, lightly smoky flavor unattainable from an ordinary oven.

in a non-threatening environment. I am sure this has accelerated
my ability to communicate with each of them much better."
