Cooking Class: Down by the Chesapeak Bay
Explore a distinct coastal cuisine in this hands-on cooking class. Chef John will guide you through a curated menu that features the flavors of Maryland.
Begin by preparing blue crab to make a hearty soup filled with tomatoes, onions, celery, carrots and corn. Season shrimp with Old Bay to make a Maryland-style shrimp cocktail. Make a homemade crab cake fried until golden and crispy to serve with parsley potatoes and fresh corn on the cob. For dessert, indulge in a sweet yogurt dessert topped with crisp apples, brown sugar and cheddar cheese.

Chef John was amazing and we had the best time! It was our first time ever doing a private class and he made it fun and engaging the entire time. He answered all of our many questions and took the time explaining why each ingredient is important for both taste and health benefits! Strongly recommend booking him for your next lesson! It was an anniversary my gf and I will never forget! Awesome experience

Had so much fun! Took my mother as a Mother’s Day gift. Engaging chef is a great conversationalist. Which only makes the food that much better when it’s served and you realize he can talk the talk and walk the walk. Would be excellent with friends, a romantic date, or a gift to a parent for a fun relaxing night out. Learned some great tips and can now make a great French dinner!
