Enjoy a private preserving class and dinner with a beautiful view of Mount Diablo.
In this couples' cooking class, Chef Penny will teach you how to make her famous roasted eggplant-bell pepper spread, perfect to serve on crackers, on a pizza, in pasta, or just on a spoon out of the jar! You'll also get to sample many more of Chef Penny's creations, including jams, jellies, pickles, curds, and hot sauces. She will then serve you a private dinner of salad, pasta with your own homemade eggplant-bell pepper spread, bread, and a freshly-baked pie for dessert. You will get to eat in her beautiful dining room overlooking Mount Diablo.
Guests will leave with two jars of their homemade spread to enjoy at home with family and friends, as well as the recipe to make it again in the future.

From the moment I walked into Penny's house, I was completely impressed. Her house has a breathtaking view of the mountains, her kitchen is beautiful and spacious, and she has so many colorful, creative, preserves! I learned so much from Penny and got to taste some of the most imaginative and delicious preserves I've ever had. Who would have thought corn cob jelly could be so wonderful? And one small spoonful of her strawberry jam seemed to have the flavor of an entire strawberry patch!

This was so much fun! Chef Penny welcomed us to her home with samples of 31 of her homemade goodies, including jams, jellies, marmalades, pickles, salsas, curds, and more! From there it was a great lesson on the joys of fermentation, including methods, variations, and safety. I really appreciated Chef Penny's focus on cleanliness and safety, which is SO important for food preservation. I was inspired to go home and make my own butternut squash pickles based on her recommendations. Thanks Chef Penny!
Meet your chef
I have been a passionate chef my whole life, having learned to cook from three generations of Portuguese chefs. I opened my own private cooking school to teach the art and science of food preservation. I want to bring back the practicality and creativity of home food preservation, and debunk the myth that canning is only good for Grandma's jams and pickles! I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you so that you'll be well-equipped to make your own healthy, creative, and safe preserves!
