Post Cruise Farm-to-Table Experience from Long Beach

Savor the vibrant flavors of Southern California in this unforgettable farm-to-table cooking experience in Long Beach. Ideal for food lovers, wellness enthusiasts, and curious travelers, this hands-on culinary adventure combines a local market tour with a homemade meal bursting with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Hosted by passionate home chef BA, whose cooking is inspired by global flavors and locally grown produce, this immersive experience begins with a stroll or bike ride to a bustling Long Beach Farmers Market. There, you'll browse colorful stalls overflowing with fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers while selecting ingredients for your custom meal. After gathering your produce, head to BA's welcoming home kitchen to transform your market finds into a mouthwatering spread. Under her expert guidance, you'll learn how to prepare a seasonal appetizer, salad, main course, dessert, and even homemade bread--from scratch.

Your experience culminates with a sit-down meal alongside BA and her family (if they're home), offering a chance to enjoy meaningful conversation and the fruits of your labor in a relaxed, homey setting. Whether you're looking to boost your culinary confidence, explore Southern California's farm-fresh offerings, or simply enjoy a warm, authentic local connection, this tour delivers a feast for the senses. Conveniently located just minutes from the Port of Long Beach--a favorite West Coast cruise stop--this unique cooking class is the perfect way to add depth and flavor to your time ashore.

BA accommodates dietary preferences including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose-free with advance notice. Tours are available for up to six guests and are scheduled based on Farmers Market hours. Book early to reserve your seat at the table and enjoy one of Long Beach's most intimate and delicious cultural experiences.
