Meeting and pickup
Meet your host Ann at her home located a 5-min walk from the Ritz Carlton. The above is a generic location in her neighborhood. Exact address can be found in the "Before you go" section of your ticket confirmation.
What to expect
Step into Ann’s spacious kitchen for an intimate, small-group, hands-on cooking class where you'll prepare a seasonal French-Californian meal from scratch. Throughout the class, Ann will guide you through classic French techniques adapted to highlight the freshness of local Californian produce. You’ll learn how to make the creamiest mashed potatoes using a foolproof method, braise green beans to perfection, and prepare a Parisian favorite, chicken with morels. For dessert, master the art of making choux pastry to create decadent cream puffs (surprisingly simple and incredibly satisfying!).
After cooking, sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared, paired with thoughtfully selected French wines. Each guest will receive printed copies of the recipes to recreate the dishes at home, along with a small keepsake to remember your time in Dana Point.
