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.
Nyesha Arrington is the co-star of FOX’s hit culinary competition show Next Level Chef. She is also the host and producer of the digital series Plateworthy on Eater. Nyesha started her culinary career at Michelin starred restaurants Mélisse in Santa Monica and L’Atelier and The Mansion in Las Vegas. She went on to open restaurants Leona and Native in Los Angeles, where she was celebrated for using farm fresh, locally and responsibly sourced ingredients. She has been named to Zagat’s Best Chef 30 Under 30 List as well as Eater’s LA Chef of the Year.
Our menu for this class come straight from Nyesha’s session at Food & Wine – Aspen.

*It’s likely unnecessary but prudent to note that Arrington will not be instructing or attending this cooking class. Likewise, neither Arrington 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.
