Fresh sushi. In your kitchen. From Cache Valley's own Chef Barney?!

Yes! You read that right. This cooking-class-leads-into-dinner experience is an amazing opportunity to learn about the art of making sushi while enjoying a multi-course meal from Executive Chef Barney Northrop. This fun, tasty evening can be a hands-on lesson in making delicious sushi, or it can simply be a privately catered meal for four people - it's totally up to you. Learn some new culinary tricks, and/or just sit back and devour the results.

Chef Barney trained under Japanese chefs, so we're not saying you shouldn't bid on the pasta lesson and meal, we're just saying you should probably bid on both. It's not every day you have the opportunity to have Chef Barney come to your house and do what he does best while supporting the mission of Planned Parenthood!

Donated by Barney Northrop.

Pasta, anyone? (The answer is yes, always pasta.)

Chef Barney has been mastering this fine Italian art for years, and it's safe to say he knows a thing or two about dough. Let Executive Chef Barney Northrop come to you and engage in a delicious tutorial for making the perfect [chef's kiss!] pasta, OR, just have him prepare you a privately catered multi-course meal. How much or little you want to come along for the pasta tutorial is completely up to you. This intimate cooking class (or just dinner! Your choice!) is held in your home with 3 of your closest pasta-loving friends (4 people total). We can't think of a more delicious way to support reproductive rights.
