Cooking Class: Cook Colorful Italian Dishes With a Chef
Put a focus on seasonal ingredients and traditional Italian recipes in this cooking class with Chef Dan. You'll glean inspiration from dishes with wonderful flavor pairings and learn various culinary techniques like sous vide.
Start with a classic spiedini appetizer, which are skewers of creamy mozzarella, prosciutto-wrapped figs and California honey. Next is a fresh spinach salad with walnuts, gorgonzola and a heavenly truffle balsamic vinaigrette. Take on the sous vide method as you perfectly cook tender lamb chops served over a bed of goat cheese polenta and carrots. End this class with a creamy coconut custard for dessert.
