Join the free cooking demo and tasting with Lukes Local  at the Ferry Building in The Embarcadero on Saturday, August 26th, from 12:00 pm to 12:45 pm, in San Francisco, California.

Nick Rappoport is a Bay Area native who began his career as an apprentice under Chef Manuel Azevedo of La Salette Restaurant in Sonoma. An integral part of the Luke’s family, Nick’s commitment to building fresh, local, seasonal plates is derived from his time at restaurants such as The French Laundry, Serpentine, and Outerlands.

His travels throughout Spain, Italy, and France have likewise enriched Nick’s approach to cooking. Inspired by simple, delicious meals, Nick is dedicated to curating a menu that incorporates the best of local, seasonal ingredients and flavor.

All demos take place in the CUESA Classroom (under the white tents in front of the Ferry Building) and are free to the public, with recipes and samples for all.

This cooking demo is made possible by CUESA, which has over 100 food, fruit, and vegetable vendors on Saturdays and the entire Bay as its beautiful backdrop.
