What You’ll Do

These luscious recipes will enlighten you to the difference wine can make in your cooking.

Wine can turn a simple recipe into something spectacular, as you'll learn from Chef Charles in this informative cooking class. He'll share his secrets behind the magic of enhancing both savory and sweet dishes by incorporating wine as an ingredient.

Your wine-infused lesson begins with a round of scallops, pan-fried in a champagne and butter sauce featuring heavy cream and fresh herbs. You'll also prepare a gourmet rice and peas dish flavored with chardonnay and pecorino. And for dessert, you'll create a chocolate cake using port wine, topped with a luxurious crème anglaise.

Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

We had a great time and can’t wait to book with Chef Charles again. Charles’s approach was very informative. We learned a lot about how to sear meat and cook on high heat; for example holding the pan at an angle away from you as you place the meat. Chef Charles made everything so easy and the food was the best. He is also a very interesting person and loved his stories as a chef. Can’t wait to work together again!

I hired Charles last minute for an at-home birthday dinner for my husband. We were so pleased with the experience! The food was fantastic and he took the time to teach us a thing or two and to share his favorite Bay Area restaurants. We’d love to see him again, perhaps for a class with friends.

Food was a 10/10, great taste! Chef Charles was friendly and arrived on time. However, he did appear a bit sloppy. Wearing flip flops, a tee shirt, and a zip up hoodie, I was a bit nervous if we had the right person coming to cook us dinner. Overall, we liked the food, just a lack of professionalism.

The whole evening with Chef Charles was lots of fun. Even though we are all experienced and adventurous home cooks we learned some great techniques and had a great time chatting and cooking with Charles. Oh, and the food was good too!

Chef Charles was a wonderful host! He started with an insightful explanation for the meal's theme and the cultural nuances of Southern Italy. He was very accommodating in answering all our questions about the meal and cooking techniques that he used. It was a very immersive learning experience. Most of all, the food was amazing! It was a wonderful pairing of flavors and restaurant-quality meal from the comfort of our home. Highly recommend Chef Charles.
