Al Fresco Italian Cooking Class: Hand-made Ravioli & Tiramisu

If you are seeking a delicious escape away for a day from the hustle and bustle of LA, San Francisco, or other nearby cities, there is a seat with your name on it at Chef Candice's Table, set in an expansive, 175 acres of closer-to-nature property in the Central Coast near San Luis Obispo. Think glamping...or shall we say, glam-cooking and dining! Surrounded by gorgeous nature, you will learn how to create a lovely Italian meal and dine al fresco with plenty of space to social distance and explore on Chef's peaceful property. Don't be intimidated about being outdoors, there will be space warmers for chillier evenings and vast open sky and fresh air for you to enjoy, a much welcome and therapeutic gift especially during this unique period. Vacation does not need to involve a grand plan and a flight ticket - you can take a day trip to this slice of paradise right in your home state.

Guests will discover the pleasure of making fresh pasta into delicious and unique stuffed ravioli using a bounty of fresh ingredients. Made with no animal meat product, this class excites vegetarian and non-vegetarian pallets to the very best. Included in your experience along with fresh pasta and tiramisu is a simple yet elegant salad. Chef Candice will demo more advanced parts of making the tiramisu from scratch, then you will build your own individual tiramisu to take home as a sweet memento of your gourmet adventure.

Get the “how to” on our chef’s luxurious filling, then mix your own dough from flour and hand roll thin sheets to cuddle the beautiful treasure. You will then create classic sauce to coat your ravioli.

But wait! No meal is complete without the sweet! Little else says “Italian” like a strong, sweet tiramisu, meaning "pick me up." In the class you’ll learn how to prepare the ingredients and build your own tiramisu. Perfect!
Adoro la pasta .. adoro la tua vita! (love the pasta… love your life!)
Bring your favorite drink whether it's wine, beer, or champagne, because you are about to experience a very special culinary excursion with full of excitement and fun.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets in case you wish to recreate the dish on your own after the class. Our events are casual and meant to be fun 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 (or taste testing).
