Class Description
Ring in the New Year with the most unique dining experience in town. Tonight the Culinary Center of Kansas City transforms into an elegant and immersive dining experience.  Join longtime CCKC Instructor Bruce Campbell and Executive Pastry Chef Catie Wiley for an exquisite New Year's dinner.

You will be served a seven-course dinner with a chef's-table view. Leave (most) of the cooking to Bruce and Chef Catie, as you sit back and relax while each dish is demonstrated. We will give you a hands on experience building your own antipasto Kabobs, however.

Tonight we have a menu fit to ring in the new year. Start off with a fun appetizer of Antipasto Kabobs that you will make yourself. Next we kick off our demonstrations with classic Minestrone Soup and fresh baked Focaccia bread. Scallops with shaved asparagus is up next, where Bruce will show you how to pan sear scallops to perfection. For the salad course, we have a fresh sourdough panzanella followed by elegant baked, Stuffed Clams Oreganata.  Last we will have a Roasted and Stuffed Pork Loin served with Polenta and a classic marinara that you will surely want to replicate at home.

To finish the evening, we have a classic Italian Tri-Color Cake followed by Bruce and Chef Catie toasting you and yours with a Prosecco toast to ring in the New Year. This dinner is not to be missed, reserve your seats now for the best New Year's experience in Kansas City.

About Our Shared Cooking Experience
One of the things that makes our classes special is the community we build around every workstation. Each cooking workstation accommodates four people, and we thoughtfully pair individuals and couples together to create a collaborative, social experience. Over the years, we've watched countless friendships form over chopped vegetables and simmering sauces.

Most guests find that cooking alongside new people adds to the fun and creates unexpected connections. Whether you're signing up solo, with friends, or as a couple, you'll likely share your workstation with others who are just as excited to learn, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. Please note that if you've registered with other people on the same order, you will automatically be seated together. If you signed up as a party of four, you will automatically have your own workstation. If you'd like to sit with another registered guest and you haven't booked your seats together, please let us know in the "Comments" section when you sign up, and you will be seated together and placed at the same workstation.

We understand if you'd prefer a more intimate experience with just your own group. If you'd like to reserve an entire workstation for your party, simply purchase four spots and you will be given your own private workstation. This guarantees your group will have the space to yourselves. Questions about our class format? Feel free to reach out—we're happy to help you find the perfect cooking experience!

Dietary Restrictions & Allergies
We want everyone to enjoy our classes safely and comfortably! If you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, let us know in the "Comments" section when you sign up. Our chefs do their best to accommodate vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs with as much advance notice as possible. Please note:

• Some dietary restrictions may be challenging to accommodate depending on the class menu.
• If you have severe allergies or complex dietary needs, we strongly encourage you to call us at 913-341-4455 before registering so we can discuss whether we can safely accommodate your requirements.

Our team is committed to making your experience as inclusive as possible, but we want to be upfront about our limitations. The more notice you give us, the better we can prepare. When in doubt, please reach out—we're here to help you determine if a particular class is the right fit!
