Cooking Class: Italian Favorites From Arancini to Tiramisu
The flavors of Italy are calling and this cooking class with Chef James delivers a full tour!
You’ll kick things off with a Caesar salad tossed in homemade dressing and finished with plenty of Parmesan. Then, turn risotto into arancini and learn how to fry each bite until golden and crunchy. Next, cook tender veal, layer it with prosciutto and season it with sage and white wine to create a comforting saltimbocca. You’ll also make fresh tagliatelle for a creamy carbonara topped with guanciale and just the right amount of egg yolk. To wrap it all up, you’ll assemble a classic tiramisu, complete with espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone. Book your spot today!
