An immersive evening of island flavor and flair
Step into the lush, indulgent world of The White Lotus in this unforgettable cooking class that blends tropical elegance with culinary adventure. From cocktails to dessert, this immersive experience invites you to play both chef and guest at a glamorous island dinner party—without ever leaving Los Angeles.
We’ll kick off the evening with a signature Lychee Floradora Gin Spritz and a chef-prepared amuse-bouche of Ahi Poke with hibiscus, lime, and black finishing salt. Then, you'll move into a hands-on culinary workshop where you'll create vibrant, island-inspired dishes using fresh, bold ingredients.
On the Menu:
Avocado Grapefruit Salad – bright, citrusy, and refreshing
Seared Seabass with Ginger Lemongrass Cream Sauce – rich and aromatic
Miso-Glazed Purple Sweet Potatoes with Toasted Macadamia Nuts – sweet, salty, and deeply satisfying
Chef-Made Dessert: Charred Pineapple Upside-Down Cake with Dark Rum Caramel
You'll leave the evening full of inspiration, tropical flavors, and a complimentary take-home gift: a sample of our Midnight Lei Black Finishing Salt, hand-blended for the occasion.
Whether you’re a fan of the show, craving a vacation vibe, or just want a fun and luxurious date night out, this class is your ticket to culinary paradise.

  • 5/5 from Monica Shakin, attended Sep 2026: My husband and I were here for a date night. My team bought me a gift certificate that we used for the class. The teacher was fantastic and the food was delicious. We loved every bite and are hoping to recreate it at home. I love that they sent the recipes home. Most of the people there were very friendly and it was a lot of fun to eat together at the end. We would love to come back for another class.
  • 5/5 from Christina Fujii, attended Jan 2026: We had so much fun on the tropical date night! The food was delicious and we learned great techniques. This was a double date Christmas gift and it was a big hit. Would definitely do it again and can’t wait to return for a class in the future!
