Josh Mitchell has really made a name for himself in the upper valley, with his catering company, Napa Valley Heritage Catering.

Born and raised here in the Napa Valley, Josh began working in some of the most respected professional local kitchens including Auberge du Soleil, Bistro Jeanty, the CIA and Meadowood. He worked front of house, back of house and all the places in between. The Carneros Inn, AdHoc, SolBar and JoLe have all been graced by Josh Mitchell’s presence. He put on his apron here 16 years ago, and continues to call our valley home.

Josh now has his own commercial kitchen and catering company in Calistoga, dedicated to the Napa Valley aesthetic. He grows most of his own weekly produce, and raises rare breeds of heritage hogs to be used at his table. He makes his own charcuterie and cheese.  He caters, does pop-up dinners, has a new awesome take-out business and does the cooking for many, many happy hostesses.

Josh is opening up his kitchen for a cooking class, just for you and the friends you most enjoy hanging with.

Join Josh in his Napa Valley Heritage Catering Kitchen in Calistoga and learn to make the Mother Sauces which are the foundation of all cuisine: Béchamel, Velouté, Espagnole, Tomato and Hollandaise. And, once you get the feel for these sauces, you’ll be able to whisk them up whenever you want to get fancy. And soon enough, you'll feel confident enough to break tradition and take that Mother Sauce somewhere she’s never gone before.

Then, sit down and eat!

There will be copious wine in the fridge to toast your prowess, and for you to thank your lucky stars that our local boy made good, and we’re all the beneficiaries.

Date for this event by mutual availability.
