18 Reasons is a non-profit based in San Francisco that not only provides cooking classes to community members but also free cooking classes to low-income communities throughout the Bay Area. 
The night my friends and I went was ‘Spring Soups’!
We made crispy salmon, warm potato salad with a watercress sauce/soup. A build your own tortilla soup bar and for dessert a strawberry champagne soup with vanilla ice cream, fried basil, and other accents.
Making the crispy salmon was easy and delicious.
Building the tortilla soup and adding the broth at the end allowed for a fun and different aromatic experience!
Next the crispy salmon over the warm potato salad and watercress sauce was served! 
Fried Basil! I have never seen that before!
Everything we prepared was easy and delicious. This cooking class was a lot of fun and I love the mission behind 18 reasons. I highly recommend taking a class here! Enjoy!
