Join us Friday, February 20, 2026, from 6:00-8:00 pm, for a cooking class with Chef Gilbert Alaquinez as he teaches you everything you need to know to get started making your own Sourdough! We have worked hard to find just the right person to bring you this exciting class!
Chef Gilbert will teach you how to make a starter, how to feed and maintain it, and what to do with the discard, as well as tips and tricks and troubleshooting problems. For this class, each person attending will leave with their own sourdough starter in a jar, along with a spatula to be used for maintaining your starter. Chef Gilbert will also show you how to make pizza dough with your sourdough, and you will enjoy the pizza he makes in the class.
Classes typically run for two hours, from 6-8 pm, and include all dishes you and the chef prepare.
You will be offered a glass of wine and provided with water. You are welcome to bring any beverage of your choice for the rest of the evening, and we do sell soft drinks, mineral water and other beverages.
