WOK TO THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN CHOPSTICKS

Spend a sizzling evening creating your own personalized stir-fry in the wok with one of our homemade sauces - sweet and sour, Szechuan, spicy garlic, brown, or hoisin-hot bean paste sauce. This hands-on class will choose from a variety of proteins, including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood; then prepare a beautiful array of aromatics and vegetables to mix and match, and use the wok to create a quick and delicious meal served with white rice and golden fried rice.

TIPSY-TURVY COCKTAILS AND CUPCAKES

Gigi Smith is up to her antics and has everyone upside-down by infusing candy in her cocktails, and booze in her cupcakes.
