KP PIERCE PRIVATE CHEF HANDS-ON CULINARY EXPERIENCE STREET TACO NIGHT — BAJA FISH, CEVICHE & CHURROS Turn up the heat in the kitchen with Chef KP for a high-energy, flavor-packed cooking experience built around one of the most iconic street foods—Baja Fish Tacos. This fully hands-on class dives into two techniques that define great fish tacos: light, crisp beer batter frying and bright, citrus-forward grilled fish. You’ll learn how to execute both styles side-by-side, mastering texture, seasoning, and timing to create restaurant-quality tacos from scratch. But this isn’t just about tacos—it’s about building complete, balanced dishes. You’ll layer bold flavors with fresh acidity, creamy elements, and heat, while developing real kitchen skills you can take home and use immediately. From fresh ceviche to house-made sauces and perfectly fried churros, every component is built by you, guided step-by-step.
