Family Dumpling Class

THIS WEEKEND! Sunday, August 3: 3 to 6pm

Get ready for the ultimate dumpling adventure! In this hands-on class designed for families with kids (ages 7+), you'll enjoy crispy wonton chips while creating perfectly pan-fried veggie dumplings with golden edges and two steamed showstoppers: delicate shrimp shumai and savory chicken-scallion dumplings. Along the way, Chef Gill will reveal the secrets behind restaurant-quality dipping sauces and surprisingly simple techniques that make dumpling-making feel like magic. Leave with newfound skills and plenty of "remember when we made those amazing dumplings?" moments to share at home. 

$95 per person (family class; ages 7+)

Intro to Spanish Tapas

Saturday, August 16: 5 to 8pm

Ready to master Spain's most craveable small plates and become the host everyone wants an invite from? Join Chef Gill for an irresistible journey through authentic Spanish tapas. You'll master the art of golden-crispy Patatas Bravas (Spanish potatoes) with silky aioli and fresh chives; learn the secret to perfectly creamy Jamón Croquetas (ham croquettes) that burst with flavor; sizzle up bubbling and fragrant Gambas al Ajillo (shrimp with garlic); and create the ultimate Pan con Tomate on perfectly charred bread. Each technique you'll learn, every bite you'll savor, and the stories you'll share over a complimentary glass of Señor Sangria make this the perfect night out—whether it's date night, friends' night, or your personal culinary adventure.

$125 per person (adult class)

Designed for families with kids ages 7 and up, this class is all about fresh, feel-good cooking. Together, you’ll make fluffy pita bread, crispy falafel, and smooth, creamy hummus—all from scratch! Then gather around our big communal table to share the meal with fellow family foodies. It’s comfort food with a wholesome Middle Eastern twist.
