Sushi making class

Do you have a favourite type of sushi? Have you ever wanted to learn how to make it for yourself? Well, now's your chance!

Everything in the sushi kit comes fresh, and once prepared, is super delicious. 

Chocolate tasting

There's so much to learn about the world of chocolate, and The Ultimate Food Guide's Bean to Bar chocolate tasting is the perfect place to do it. In this experience, you will learn how the chocolate we love to eat becomes just that, from cacao beans to how they're packaged.

Cooking classes

Learning how to cook a delicious meal is always fun - but learning from a professional chef is even better! Chef Paula Zavala offers many different themed virtual classes, both public and private. She has tons of classes to choose from, like Date Night in Rome - cooking the Italian feast of chicken marsala with wine and mushrooms, garlic, butter and parmesan pasta, and a molten lava cake. Gather your friends and family, and get cooking!
