Short and Sweet: Cioppino

A hands-on in-person cooking class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer. This class is limited to 14 students. Review our registration and cancellation policies here.

Cioppino is a uniquely San Franciscan dish created by Italian immigrants in the 1800s. Typically made with whatever fish was left at the end of the day, this dish boasts a richly flavorful tomato, fennel, and wine broth that lets the seafood shine!

Besides being a local dish with history, cioppino is a great opportunity for home cooks to gain confidence in choosing, cleaning and cooking shellfish. The versatility of this dish is perfect for mixing and matching the seafood of your choice, and it comes together quickly on a weeknight. Pair cioppino with a big hunk of crispy garlic bread and a crisp glass of white wine and you’ll be well on your way to an unforgettable evening!
