Date Night Series: Episode 2
Things to know
For 18+ only.
A welcome glass of prosecco or non-alcoholic beverage will be served upon arrival, and additional beverages will be available for purchase a la carte throughout the class.
L’OCA’s Date Night Series is designed to help you connect with someone over great food.
But it doesn’t have to be romantic...
Bring a partner, a friend, or anyone you enjoy spending time with, and join us inside L’OCA Labs for a hands-on, interactive evening led by Chef Jaclyn Beckmann.
Upon arrival at Date Night Series: Episode 2, you’ll be greeted with a chilled welcome glass of prosecco.
Once everyone’s settled, Chef Jaclyn will show you how to build two styles of cocktails. Then it’s your turn to mix one for your partner.
Next, get hands-on as you and your date assemble a fresh Burrata Salad, customise a Seafood Ceviche, plate a Carpaccio with Aioli, and finish the night by making a classic but personalised Panna Cotta.
Throughout the evening, Chef Jaclyn will share expert tips on how to recreate these dishes at home.
