Antsy Nancy attended The Food & Wine Classic – Aspen in June 2025. This culinary event has been a must-visit experience for four decades and consists of three incredible days of cooking demonstrations, wine & spirit tastings, and panel discussions led by world-class chefs and beverage experts. We are thrilled to present a cooking class lineup, inspired by the chefs and recipes introduced at Food & Wine Aspen 2025.
“Yan Can Cook, So Can You!” has always been the motto of Martin Yan, chef extraordinaire, popular television host of more than 3,500 culinary and travel TV shows and author of 35 cookbooks. Since 1978, his award-winning public television series, Yan Can Cook, has introduced generations of audiences to Chinese and Asian cuisines. Chef Yan has received numerous awards and recognitions including the James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022 and the lifetime achievement award from the International Association of Cooking Professionals. He was recently honored with the 2023 Culinary Excellence Award at the Sonoma International Film Festival.
Our menu for this class come straight from Yan’s session at Food & Wine – Aspen.
Cooking Class Menu:
Students 21+ years are welcome to bring their own wine, champagne, beer, etc. to enjoy during class. Please see our BYOB policy for more details.
*It’s likely unnecessary but prudent to note that Yan will not be instructing or attending this cooking class. Likewise, neither Yan nor Food & Wine have endorsed or sponsored this class. The recipes featured are available online and Antsy Nancy does not take any credit for the creation of these recipes. Our objective is to improve our students culinary skills by emulating the highly regarded recipes of master chefs.
Students will learn how to create a meal made famous by a celebrity chef. In-person students will receive chef instruction with extensive hands-on learning. Class will end by enjoying the dinner prepared.
Upon check-in, students are provided aprons and storage for personal items before visiting the handwashing station. Students will be seated in a thoroughly cleaned and sanitized workspace and given seating request preference, when available. Tools and materials will be distributed before instructor takes the class step-by-step through the successful recipe execution.
