A 4-course Hands-On Cooking Bistro Experience: Scallops at The Joyful Gourmet

Step into the warmth of the kitchen for an intimate four-course, hands-on bistro cooking experience focused on perfectly cooked scallops and comforting seasonal flavors. In this interactive class, participants cook alongside the chef while learning essential techniques and preparing each course from start to finish.

The evening begins with a hearty winter minestrone, followed by instruction on pan-searing sea scallops to achieve a golden crust and tender center. Guests will then stir, season and finish a herb-forward risotto, learning timing and techniques that translate easily to home cooking. The experience concludes with a silky pot de crème, a classic bistro dessert known for its simplicity and elegance.

Designed for cooks of all skill levels, the class offers a relaxed, social and immersive atmosphere that blends hands-on instruction with a dinner-party feel.

Chef: Nick Marsalek
