Take a detour from your busy schedule and join us by the sea for a delightful Culinary Zone Cooking Class in Dana Point.

Students put on an apron and participate hands-on in preparing the featured recipes. Students are given their own cooking station and all the required tools and ingredients. They receive a copy of the featured recipes to take home, followed by dinner where they taste their creation.
The class will consist of preparing a three-course dinner starting with
Thanksgiving Salad, Pasta Carbonara with squash, and Cranberry Pork

About the name "Culinary Zone"
We believe that taking detours builds confidence.
Artists are known for using their creations as a way to express who they are. They start with something simple, built off their knowledge of the fundamentals of their craft. At some point in the creative process, artists will branch out and do something different. It is in these little differences, or detours, that the artist creates something that is unique and original, something that is truly their own. Chefs use the same strategy. After learning the fundamental concepts and techniques they take detours from the basic recipe and make something new and exciting. Something that expresses their personality and creativity.
At the Culinary Zone, you're taught all the fundamentals you need to create amazing dishes. We encourage you to change the recipes, change the ingredients, have fun experimenting. We hope to inspire you with a passion for good food and a love for the creative process.
Cost: $60.00 per person + tax and gratuity

Excellent view, excellent service, excellent food!!!! Half of my family is Italian and Agostino’s spaghetti tastes exactly like my grandmother’s. Very authentic Italian… our waiter’s family owns the restaurant and they are all Italian. So good 🙂 highly recommend!!
