Cooking Class: Essentials of Italian Cuisine

In this hands-on cooking class with Chefs Mike and Marcus, you'll master the basics of Italian cooking and learn how to source fresh, inexpensive ingredients and create flavorful, hearty dishes. To start, you'll assemble a classic Caprese salad with ripe tomatoes, fresh basil and creamy mozzarella. After, they'll show you how to handmake fettuccini pasta, which you'll enjoy alongside a made-from-scratch traditional beef and pork bolognese sauce. Since no Italian meal is complete without bread, you'll also learn how to make classic focaccia bread. Lastly, for dessert, you'll serve up fresh, juicy fruits layered in smooth sabayon.
