HEATculinary, Laguna Niguel

When Chef Nikki Dailey graduated from The Culinary Institute of America in New York, she spent some time perfecting her craft at five-star restaurants. But those kitchens couldn’t contain her love of seasonal, local, and organic cuisine, so she founded HEAT Culinary. The business brings her signature style of cooking right to students with in-home cooking classes that focus on fresh ingredients grown nearby and proper cooking techniques. HEAT Culinary also offers a variety of cooking-themed programs, including personal culinary classes, culinary boot-camp, group events, and catering.
