What You’ll Do

Discover all of the mouthwatering possibilities with fresh seasonal fish

Indulge your palate while learning to fillet an entire fish into individual portions and cook a full meal with the expert guidance of Chef Ryan. In addition to his decades of culinary experience, he is a restaurateur that has cooked for such luminaries as President Bill Clinton. Chef Ryan enjoys sharing his passion for cuisine and creates an environment that is welcoming and free from intimidation.

Your class begins with learning to prepare a flavorful watermelon and goat cheese salad topped with luscious basil vinaigrette. From there, you will create a succulent pistachio-crusted fillet of fish. Your culinary journey concludes with decadent oven roasted pears with chocolate mousse and creamy caramelized honey.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Chef Ryan was fantastic! His chocolate skills are unreal and he is also a wonderful teacher. He made making three different kinds of chocolate desserts both easy and fun. I would book him again in a heartbeat.

What a fun experience! I've taken a variety of cooking classes over the years, but always small group classes. It was so nice to have a private class at my home with Chef Ryan. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but also just an all-around nice guy. It was so much fun learning to make chocolates from Ryan - especially the handpainted molded chocolates. I learned so much and am inspired to make them on my own, as Chef Ryan showed how easy it can be (though of course, it would take years of practice, as well as artistic ability, to get to the level of Chef Ryan's beautiful chocolates).

We had a great time with Chef Ryan. We chose to cook out of his Chocolate Lab in Manhattan Beach and spent the evening making some awesome truffles and molten cakes. Ryan has some incredible knowledge that he was willing to share with us and we left learning something new about something we love so much: chocolate. Thanks again Ryan!

Chef Ryan coordinated a wonderful Valentine's chocolate making experience! He was flexible with the booking time, and arrived at my place with everything that was needed for delicious truffles, hand-painted chocolates, and molten chocolate cake. Ryan was friendly and helpful throughout -- he has many years of expertise from running his own chocolate company. I would highly recommend this class as it is something that you won't regret.

Most delightful experience, with a Chef who's so down to earth, and knows his Chocolate !! Surprised my girlfriend with a private chef for two, to learn how to make chocolate desserts. It was so much fun !! Not pretentious, super friendly and fun, and we learned to make the most delicious truffles, painted molded chocolate, and an amazing molten chocolate cake! And of course we got to take all of the yummies home afterwards! Thanks so much for a memorable experience Chef Ryan!
