In this fun and interactive hands-on class, you will learn to make Truffled Alfredo Linguini with an assortment of Farm to Table small seasonal plates. Think an assortment of Italian antipasti all made with local ingredients to NYC!
You will work as a team to make each recipe, all while learning some knife skills and cooking techniques along the way. After all the hard work is done you will get to sit down and enjoy your delicious Italian style meal in Chef Erik's beautiful Harlem brownstone home. You can be sure the dishes will be satisfying for your stomach and your soul as you bond with your partner, family member, friend, or a room-mate over this action packed, creative, and teamwork oriented class.
No experience is required! All equipment and ingredients will be provided. Our events are casual and meant to be fun, relaxing and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.
Please arrive on time, while wearing your mask. You are invited to BYOB wine, beer, or champagne with you to class.
