Chez Cherie offers cooking classes, corporate Culinary Team Building programs and Private Cooking Parties in the foothills of La Canada, and serves businesses in Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, and the greater Los Angeles area. Take a cooking class and learn to love food!
Pacific Rim flavors are bright and fresh, full of herbs and citrus and soy. This class will explore the techniques that make this food so flavorful and fabulous. Light meal included.
Special event! Join Cherie as she explores some of her favorite culinary haunts in the South Pasadena area. We'll start at Mission Wines for a wine tasting with owner Chris Meeske, formerly the sommelier at Patina restaurant. Then we will take a short walk to the fabulous Nicole's Gourmet Foods to taste some to-die-for cheeses and shop for many of the gourmet goodies that Cherie uses in class. Then we're off for a whirlwind spin through the South Pasadena Farmer's Market (ask Cherie for tips on preparing anything that catches your eye). And we'll finish the evening with a light meal of delicious tapas and sangria at Firefly Bistro. Wine tasting, cheese tasting, tapas and sangria are included.
All new recipes! Doesn’t everyone need a little help getting dinner on the table, night after night? I cook for a living, and I know I can always use some tasty and time-saving tips! Our strategy for these classes is to make them versatile, flavorful and simple---we want dinner on the table in the time it takes you to order, pick up and unpack the take-out meal you’d be serving otherwise. Light meal included.
We are thrilled that you all are so excited about these classes. We love doing them, and “our Joe’s” (La Canada TJ’s rocks) are so generous with their time, tips and suggestions. So come see what’s new and cool at TJ’s, and even better, what you can do with it! Light meal included.
These will be all new recipes, for those who've attended our previous Tapas classes. Tapas, antojitos, whatevah... think tasty morsels with a Latin flair. We will create an array of “little bites” that can be paired together to make a great cocktail party or wine tasting or just a fun evening with friends. Perfect entertaining fare -— guest provide the fingers, you provide the food (and napkins!) Light meal included.
Special Event! Chez Cherie again joins Saveur magazine to take you on an appetite-inspiring journey through the trattorias and farmhouses of Italy. Learn the time-honored traditions used to prepare a complete menu of heartwarmingly earthy Italian classics. From the gloriously simple fare of the home kitchens of Bologna and Puglia to the rich desserts and strong coffee of Venice cafés, this exciting class will take you on a historical exploration of la cucina italiana – Italy’s deceptively sophisticated and immensely varied culinary repertoire. We'll be preparing a fabulous meal including Crostini with Pate, Lasagne Verdi al Forno, Pollo alla Cacciatora, Cimi de Rapa Affogate alla Pugiese, and Tiramisu.
Who doesn't love pasta? There is something so amazing about turning flour and eggs into silky smooth dough—if you've never made your own, you really should try it. The whole process is easy, and very therapeutic! We will make and roll some dough, play around with shapes and fillings, and just have fun with pasta-bilities! Light meal included.
Always a popular favorite, our Trader Joe’s classes focus on what’s new, flavorful and fabulous at our favorite place to shop. We hope to have a ‘Joe’from the company to give us some inside scoop on how they find their great stuff, and why some of our favorites disappear off the shelves. Then we will make some terrific dishes with great TJ’s products. Light meal included.
Summer produce abounds, so let's use it to its best advantage! Tomatoes, fennel, all kinds of herbs and greens will star in this homage to growing things. (Not strictly vegetarian, but with “tendencies.” Not all low-fat, but leaning toward the healthy side!) Light meal included.
In Southern California, we can grill year-round, but summer still seems to be the season to fire up the coals (or propane) and slap something tasty on the barbie. Come learn some tricks of the trade, and get some new ideas for your BBQ. We will cover the basics, focusing on meat and sides (for Fish Grilling, see July 15th).
