Cooking Class: Summer in the Mediterranean

The summer flavors of the Italian coast are vibrant, inviting and accessible in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Charles. Get a taste of both Mediterranean and Moroccan influences through these summery dishes, beginning with a summer squash salad topped with toasted almonds and a simple vinaigrette. Then learn how to braise chicken thighs until perfectly cooked and enjoy over creamy mascarpone polenta. End the meal with a light and sweet dessert of honey yogurt panna cotta with macerated summer fruit.
