Date Night: Couples Hands-On Cooking Class with Parties That Cook! February 27, 2009

The perfect Valentine's Day gift! Join us at The Spanish Table, Marin's premiere food & cookware store selling items from Spain & Portugal. You and your partner will heat up the kitchen as you learn cooking techniques, all while preparing an array of international gourmet appetizer dishes with hands-on instruction. Red and white wine included.

At this exciting interactive cooking lesson, guests enjoy a lively introductory cooking lesson featuring tips such as the fastest way to dice an onion without a tear. Guests break into teams and work on a recipe from the day's international tapas menu, while listening to upbeat music. After the cooking is over, guests savor the 'fruits' of their labor hot from the oven!
