Mediterranean Seafood

At The City Kitchen, we are crazy about Mediterranean food. From France to Spain to Italy, each country and region adds something special to the cuisine of southern Europe. It's hard not to fall in love with the bright flavors of citrus and spring vegetables paired with classic Mediterranean seafood like head-on prawns, mussels and halibut. This menu highlights some of our favorite ingredients and dishes from around the Mediterranean using many of the Bay Area's local products. The growing climate in Northern California is similar to most of the Mediterranean region, which made designing this menu really simple and fun! Spring in Northern California and in the Mediterranean region bring an abundance of citrus, leeks, fennel, asparagus and cherries. This is the perfect meal for a dinner party with friends or a family Sunday supper - maybe even outside now that the weather is warmer. Just like in the Mediterranean... 
We plan on making this class a party and we’d love to have you join. The class is very hands on, and each guest or couple will take home a recipe packet at the end. We provide a cheese & charcuterie board to snack on while cooking and aprons for guests to wear during class. You can BYO, or purchase bottles of wine and beer at Cookhouse.
