Classes and Tours
Are you a novice cook looking to improve your skills? Or a kitchen whiz yearning to try your whisk at something new? Or do you just want to dive into the culinary culture and delicious lifestyle of Santa Barbara? No matter what your ability or interest, you'll find a class or tour that makes your blender purr. This town has serious culinary cred - after all, it was home to the beloved Julia Child. So even if you don't know meringue from Mascarpone, what better place to ratchet up your culinary IQ? Choose from a buffet of different cuisines, from vegetarian to Vietnamese and Indian to Italian. Shop at the farmers markets and specialty food shops with in-the-know local foodies and cooks, participate in a hands-on cooking class, go to the source and meet the fishermen, visit the farms, and sip and swirl with the experts at nearby vineyards. Classes and tours are as varied as the cuisines: Choose from weekday sessions that culminate in a lunchtime feast, Saturday market tours followed by preparation of a mouthwatering seasonal meal, evening classes at local wineries, and private classes with local professional chefs and caterers. Call in advance for information and reservations - these are classes you won't want to skip. You'll soon discover why Iron Chef and cookbook author Cat Cora chooses to call Santa Barbara home.
