The Vella family invites you to experience a culinary event unlike any other in Rochester. Located within Vella Bath & Kitchen's "Living Showroom", the Culinary Center at Vella was created to offer memorable experiences. Share our passion of food in a truly stunning and inviting surrounding encompassing the finest and latest in technologies.
Local professional chefs from Rochester’s finest restaurants offer inspirational and personalized, hands-on culinary classes to a small select group of students ranging in experience. The chef will personally guide the students in creating a wonderful 5-course culinary feast utilizing Dacor luxury appliances and master chef-inspired cookware by the Culinary Institute of America.
Gather and relax at the “Chef’s Table” with new friends to enjoy the dishes prepared by all. Come away with a sense of accomplishment and confidence along with the recipes to recreate dishes for your friends and family at home using the skills and techniques learned. On behalf of the Culinary Center at Vella, “Buon Appetito!”.
