7/8/26 Tasteful Summer Party Menu Hand's-On Workshop Wednesday, July 8th at 6:00 PM
Tasteful Summer Night Menu
Light the tiki torches and get your appetite ready — this is summer on a plate. In our intimate, small-group class you’ll work side-by-side with Chef Joe, hands-on at every step. We keep the numbers low so you get real time tricks of the trade, personalized coaching, and techniques that’ll make your home dinners feel like effortless entertaining all season long.
What we’re making — and why your next backyard gathering will thank you:
Watermelon Feta Stack Bites with Pistachios and Honey
Think bite-sized fireworks: sweet, juicy watermelon layered with tangy feta, a crunch of toasted pistachios, and a drizzle of honey that ties it all together. You’ll learn perfect balancing of sweet and salty, quick assembly for a picture-perfect platter, and pro tips for keeping components fresh and crisp in summer heat.Ahi Poke Bowl with Crispy Wonton Chips
Bright, clean, and addictive — sashimi-grade ahi dressed in a lively citrus-soy marinade, tossed with avocado, cucumber, and scallions, then crowned with crunchy, golden wonton chips. We’ll show you how to pick and prep fish like a pro, build layered bowls that pop, and fry perfect chips that stay crisp under the weight of any topping.Fresh Cherry Pastry with Amaretto-Spiked Cream
A celebration dessert: flaky pastry stacked with juicy summer cherries and cloud-soft cream kissed with Amaretto. Learn how to handle delicate pastry dough and macerate cherries for maximum flavor! 🍒
Why this Workshop rocks:
Small class size = more access with the Chef, more hands-on practice, more chances to ask “why?”
Practical techniques you’ll use again and again — smarter prep, better timing, flawless plating.
Menu designed for sharing: easy to scale, beautiful to serve, and built around seasonal summer produce.
Bring your appetite, your questions, and a friend (or two). Walk out ready to host the kind of summer night people will still be talking about when the fireflies come out.
