Cooking Class: Italian Home-Style Cooking

Learn to make family-style comfort food in this Italian cooking class with Chef Vivian and Michi.


You’ll kick things off with crispy, flavor-packed bruschetta topped with fresh tomato and olive tapenade. Then it’s decision time: will you go for the rich, savory chicken marsala or the creamy mushroom risotto? Either way, you can’t lose. Complete your meal by crafting either a silky-smooth panna cotta infused with vanilla or a classic tiramisu featuring mascarpone cream and espresso-soaked ladyfingers. Reserve your place today for an opportunity to bring the taste of an Italian trattoria into your own kitchen.

Chef Vivian & Michi were so welcoming and helpful through the class. They gave us several different tips for the recipes they taught us and different proteins or veggies that can be utilized. Will definitely be attending another class!!

This was a very fun and informative class! Vivi and Michi were really great to learn from, they made sure we understood what we were doing, the food was delicious, and there was a ton of it! They were so nice, funny, and caring, as well as having a wealth of knowledge about the history of the food and the science behind a lot of it. I highly recommend taking any of their classes and I will hopefully take another one soon!!
