Spring Cooking Classes with Chef Chelsea

Here at Newcastle Produce, we have the best ingredients,
a flexible, comfortable space to learn, and experienced teachers who make classes fun (and tasty!). No wonder our classes are so popular! All evenings include recipes, training, time to shop for ingredients, and menu planning. Call the store to sign up today, (916) 663-2016.

All these classes are taught by Chelsea Federwitz, who is the Newcastle Produce chef and a popular class teacher. Chelsea is a pastry artist and a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Saint Helena, California. Pictures of previous classes and more information are on her artful blog
