Cooking Class

The first installment of Patina’s cooking class series-taking place bi-monthly throughout 2014-begins Saturday, April 5, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and features a special celebratory three-course menu. Not only do guests have the luxury of cooking in Patina’s kitchen, but Chef Olalia walks participants through the process of preparing a complete meal, from appetizer to dessert, utilizing French techniques.

The three-course April menu begins with Sardines “A Day in Nice,” a classic Patina dish; followed by Veal Osso Bucco with Cornmeal Dumplings, served with French style peas and lemon gremolata; and Toffee Souffle with banana ice cream.

These intimate classes for just 10 guests offer fans an opportunity for one-on-one instruction and will be held on the first Saturday of April, June, August, October, and December. Classes are $95 per person. Reservations may be made by calling the restaurant directly at 213.972.3331
