THE TEACHER

Private, Instructor-Led Session with Chef Aaron

A private session guided by Chef Aaron puts technique and timing front and center—expect direct, hands-on instruction as you build a complete dish from start to finish and then eat what you’ve made together.

THE MENU

Choose a Dish to Own for the Night

Select from a range of class options—ravioli, pasta with Alfredo or marinara, egg rolls, dragon sushi rolls, reverse-seared steak with sides, or enchiladas—and spend the session focused on that single menu.

THE SETTING

A Cozy, Customizable Evening

The class culminates in a sit-down meal in a cozy setting; participants are encouraged to personalize the evening by bringing their own drinks, sides, dessert, and decorations.
