Recreate your favorite Chinese takeout dishes in this San Diego cooking class! Join Chef Scotty as he guides you through making the perfect sweet, tangy, and crispy Orange Chicken from scratch.
We'll kick things off with a little history on this beloved dish—how it became a takeout favorite and what makes it so irresistibly good. Then, you’ll dive into the hands-on fun: coating and shallow frying your protein in a perfectly crisp batter, crafting the signature orange sauce with just the right balance of flavors, and plating it up beautifully with rice and fresh veggies. Snap a quick photo of your delicious creation—then dig in and enjoy!
By the end of class, you’ll have the skills and confidence to whip up this takeout classic anytime—no fortune cookie luck needed!
This class is perfect for beginners. We provide all the ingredients and equipment, and everything we use can easily be found at your local market. Our workshops are relaxed, fun, and interactive—whether you love being hands-on in the kitchen or prefer to observe, assist, and, of course, taste-test, there's a place for you here.

  • 5/5 from Hanna Ertzner, attended Apr 2025: Teacher Chef Scotty was awesome. He explained things simply and gave us pointers on cooking techniques. He also let us know where to buy the ingredients cheaply and locally. He was so friendly and patient. Great teacher. You can tell it is his passion.
