What you'll do

At this hands-on outdoor cooking class, you’ll fire up the grill and enjoy fresh, flavorful cooking with Chef Jordan. This grilling crash course will get you out of the kitchen and cooking Californian cuisine with an island flair – three courses of quality organic ingredients.

Ideal for beginners or keen grillers, this cooking class just outside of San Diego has something for everyone. You’ll be shown the best tips and tricks for outdoor cooking while you enjoy a beautiful lakeside view. Perfect if you’re looking for a unique gift idea, or fancy trying your hand at a new cooking skill!

On the menu:

Ceremonial cacao drink prepared by Chef Jordan (with coconut, sea salt, cinnamon, and agave nectar).
Lettuce-wrapped portobello quinoa sliders topped with chipotle aioli and avocado.
Blackened pineapple cajun chicken with balsamic and thyme, vegetables, and rosemary lemon potatoes.
Macadamia mango-peach cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream.

You’ll take home new grilling skills and delicious island-inspired recipes to recreate at home!
