There are moments in life, when food, champagne, and laughter come together in perfect harmony.  So was my stay and adventure with The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay.  When I think of luxury, it is the comfort and serenity of a well-organized insider experience which first comes to mind.  How many of us have had the opportunity to sneak behind the scenes and cook in a real professional kitchen?  Even fewer of us can celebrate with world class chefs while they take us through an experience guaranteed to rev-up the palate and create laughter.  To cook along side celebrated chefs like Charles Phan, Gerald Hirigoyen, and Sarah Rich is an incredible treat, and to do it in the company of one of our nations best chefs is an honor.

The Global Cuisine Series is the creation of The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay.  Guests are welcomed for a weekend of luxury, and an intimate experience (approx 16 guests) for a hands on culinary class in the hotel kitchen and a sit-down lunch with the visiting chef to chat about their history and culinary inspirations. 

I even left with a copy of Charles Phan’s book!

The experiences happen once a month until December.  A perfect pre-holiday getaway where you can re-charge and have a good time while cooking up a minor storm. 

Book your experience, and don’t forget to ask about the spa and golf; make a whole weekend out of it!
