Cooking Class: Classic Italian Cuisine
Craft a four-course Italian meal in this fun, hands-on cooking class with Chef Linda.
The class begins by practicing your knife skills to chop vibrant seasonal vegetables and craft fresh pasta to fill a hearty Sicilian minestrone soup. Next, you'll prepare cannelloni pasta and a creamy ricotta and spinach filling to stuff it. Whip up a rich béchamel sauce to pair with the stuffed pasta for a decadent main course. On the side, a bright orange and fennel salad topped with red onions and Kalamata olives will delight your palate. Stuff crunch cannoli shells with a sweet ricotta filling and finish with chocolate shavings for a decadent dessert to end the meal. Book this cooking class today!

We learned loads of tips about knives, salt, cleaning the smell of garlic off your hands … and then there was the food which was delicious. A great evening of education and deliciousness
