History

Established in 2012.

Chef and Sommelier Richard «Rick» Boufford had the «time of his life» offering hands on cooking classes on Saturdays in his restaurant kitchen at the now closed The Black Sheep Bistro in Tustin. Rick has reinvented The Black Sheep Cooking Club as a way to share the vast experience he has been privileged to receive in the 35 years he and his wife Diana have devoted to restaurant, hospitality and wine industry by creating a host of unique cooking classes for the home kitchen. The Boufford’s have worked with and for some of the most recognized people in the business, and love the opportunity to be able to share their skills and art through numerous specialty classes and demonstration events!
