About the Instructor

Ed Metcalfe

Chef / Instructor

My culinary career started at age 15 washing dishes in my parent’s restaurant. My career has taken me to SF, Lake Tahoe, Copenhagen Denmark, Hawaii, Bend Oregon, and Sonoma, Ca. For the better part of 15 years, I have opened and run my restaurants. I am passionate about everything from the design aspect to building a menu and developing a culinary team.

After the 2017 Sonoma fires, I was ready for a change. I sold my restaurant ( Shiso) and started our catering company, www.sushimotos.com.

What is the process for cancelling my registration?

We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class. 

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee, or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

Do you pro-rate late additions to classes?

Late additions to any program, class, or workshop that has already begun will be allowed on a per-case basis depending upon the Program Director & instructors approval. Late additions will have to pay the full registration cost of the class, along with any materials fees, and will not be prorated for the time missed. You may reach out to the program directors directly, or the Program Associate Sean Baskin at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org to request a late addition.
