Cooking Class: Italian with a Rustic Twist

Explore the traditions of a more rustic side of Italian cuisine in this informative hands-on cooking class from Chef Mariana. She'll show you an array of recipes that emphasize earthy flavor arising from a combination of hearty ingredients and culinary methods handed down through generations. You'll begin by creating arancini, Sicilian rice balls seasoned with a fiery chili sauce, before transforming a humble eggplant and tomatoes into a satisfying salad dish. You'll also learn to create your own gnocchi topped with a zesty pesto sauce made from scratch and whip up a creamy panna cotta for dessert.
