Wonderfully, many hosts/chefs of the hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts we recommend in California have introduced cooking classes for guest participation.  The cooking programs vary from day classes to week-long stays; most are "hands on" requiring that you don an apron and test your own culinary talents and many include instruction not only in the kitchen but at the markets, bakeries and butcher where you will learn of local products that both influence and define the regional specialties and cuisine.  These California cooking classes allow us to challenge the "chef" in all of us.

The cooking classes in California vary in program, length and size. We personally find the classes where you settle in over a period of time the most rewarding. Time affords the opportunity to get to know other guests/students, the chance to relax and truly enjoy the culinary course.  Most people we talk to cherish their memories of cooking classes; love the opportunity to transcend the role as tourist; get to know their host more intimately as they share strategy in the kitchen; feel part of a community, and they all say they leave having forged life-long friendships.
