About This Class

This holiday season will be more delicious after you cook with us. A menu full of comforting Hanukkah favorites means you will never again have to eat soggy latkes. With enough ideas to last an entire eight days of meals, it will be more than latkes that you crave.

These recipes not only showcase classic Hanukkah dishes but allow for interpretations based on California produce (think latkes with root vegetables). You don’t need to celebrate Hanukkah to find joy in this menu. The techniques will allow your weeknight meals to take another step toward professional and the food will be a star at any party or weekend dinner.

Come for ideas and techniques, and leave with the ability to throw the tastiest Hanukkah party your family has seen.

Note that this is not a kosher meal.

FAQ

What is the format of a typical cooking class?

The average duration of our cooking classes is 4 hours, and they are broken down into three segments: Introductory lecture or demo, hands-on cooking, and eating.

The class will begin with a short discussion or demo from your instructor. After, you can expect to work either on a team or individually to prepare the class menu. As a group, your class will prepare the selected menu in its entirety. In most classes, not every student will make every dish.

Learning happens throughout the class, and your instructor will often call out key techniques as they happen in each recipe.

Most classes conclude by sitting down as a group to eat what you’ve prepared, followed by a discussion of each recipe. You will leave with a copy of the recipe packet and a working knowledge of every dish that was made so you can recreate them at home.

When should I arrive for my class?

Doors open 15 minutes before the class start time.

What do I need to bring with me to class?

You do not need to bring anything with you to class, unless otherwise noted in the class description. The kitchens at SFCS are fully equipped and aprons, recipes, equipment, food and wine are all provided for you. 

Do I need to eat before class?

In most classes, you will be sitting down to eat a complete meal that you have prepared along with your classmates. Since this typically occurs towards the end of the class period, an appetizer or small plate is usually prepared early on in class. However, you’re welcome to additionally have a snack before you arrive or bring one with you.

Please note, for our Baking & Pastry classes, a light meal will be provided for you.

What should I wear to class?

We suggest wearing casual clothing you can easily move around in, and highly recommend wearing comfortable closed-toe shoes. Long hair should be pulled back.
