Cooking Classes Feature Techniques and Dinner Paired With Wine

Chef Gorji's cooking classes featuring cooking techniques are followed by three course dinners paired with wine at Gorji Restaurant. Held every three or four months, these in-demand events are usually filled up in the first few days after announcing the date. He keeps these classes small because of limited space in Gorji's kitchen. They are  offered about four times a year and the spots always fill quickly.
