Premiere Class: Summertime Ceviche, Crudo, and Sashimi - $150

Summertime is all about getting outdoors and basking in the sun whenever we can. It means having friends over for dinner al fresco, and it absolutely means keeping cooking to a minimum! (Who wants to toil over a hot stove in the summer heat?)

For seafood lovers, summertime also means taking advantage of the bounty of the sea in the simplest, freshest ways possible. Join Formaggio Kitchen's culinary expert Julian Hammer and educator Adam Centamore for an evening exploring the best ways to enjoy summer seafood.

Taking ancient preparation cues from Peru, Japan, Italy, and other cultures, they will serve up a variety of raw fish and shellfish preparations that celebrate the pure, unmasked flavors of the ocean's finest offerings. From the simplest oyster to fish dishes that explode with citrus, spice, and layer after layer of flavor, you'll discover how these ancient techniques transform each dish with minimal intervention, letting the natural tastes and textures of each shine.

Each dish will highlight carefully selected ingredients and accompaniments, chosen to enhance rather than overwhelm. Whether it's a citrus oil, exotic spice, or unique sea salt, or just a killer olive oil, you'll learn how to use each of them in your preparations at home.

Of course, these dishes will be served alongside a variety of expertly crafted adult beverages that will bring out the absolute best in the pairings.

Whether you're a culinary enthusiast or simply love exceptional seafood, this intimate tasting experience will deepen your appreciation for one of the kitchen's most elegant expressions of simplicity.
