PCI Weekend Cooking, Baking and Wine Classes Whether you're looking to advance your skills or make restaurant-quality meals at home, you can learn to cook like the pros in the most comprehensive and fun amateur cooking classes in the Bay Area. We focus on a true hands-on experience with our world-class Chef Instructors and Sommeliers. The day begins with fresh pastries, coffee, and juice and a tour of the facilities. Then, in one of our state-of-the art Bakeshops or Culinary kitchens you will be given a demonstration of the recipes and time to prepare the dishes yourself with the assistance of the Chefs. Afterwards, pastry classes get to take home their goodies and culinary classes get to sit down and enjoy the fruits of their labor. You will advance your cooking techniques, culinary and wine knowledge, and have a new friend to call for cooking advice. Included in the fee is a packet of recipes for the class and a safety/sanitation checklist for home. “Classes subject to minimum number of participants and non-refundable within 72 hours of the class.” Complete Course Listing [pdf]
