Cooking Class: Seasonal Italian Cooking

Experience what it means to cook with the seasons in this hands-on cooking class, as you prepare signature Italian dishes using fresh, in-season ingredients from the farmers market. 


Italian-trained Chef Chris knows that the secret to really amazing Italian food lies in seasonality, so together you'll create a menu based on locally-harvested ingredients. You'll start by building a white bean crostini with rosemary, roasted garlic and extra virgin olive oil before preparing a fresh kale insalata topped with pumpkin seeds and a citrus vinaigrette. For the main course, you'll highlight locally grown asparagus and mint in a savory lemon risotto dish. Lastly, you'll enjoy a pear and ricotta cake for a divine and seasonal fruit-based dessert.

Had an amazing private cooking lesson with my mom at Chef Chris’s home! He was welcoming, patient, and made the experience so much fun. We learned so many helpful tips, and the meal we cooked together was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Chef Chris was sooo nice and kept me engaged the entire event. I’m new to Atlanta and this event was right up my alley in terms of trying something new and meeting new people. The cooking class was hosted at Arches Brewery and the Fiona the bartender was so fast with our (strong) drinks 😁😁 I had an amazing time

Our team had an absolutely fantastic time at the chocolate-making class led by Chef Chris! From start to finish, the experience was engaging, hands-on, and incredibly fun. Chef Chris made it easy for everyone—regardless of skill level—to get involved and enjoy the process. The discovery of Biscoff cookie spread was a game changer, and we got to take home delicious, handmade chocolates as a sweet reminder of the day. Chef Chris created a warm and welcoming environment, and his passion for chocolate and teaching really shone through. Highly recommend this experience for any group looking to bond, learn something new, and indulge in some seriously tasty treats!
