Risotto and Wine Tasting

This class combines a cooking lesson on how to master a classic Risotto along with some wine education from Chef Michele, who is also a certified Sommelier!

There is a reason so many restaurants put Risotto on their menus - it’s not a dish most people have the patience to attempt to cook at home! Luckily for us, there's no better time than now to learn something new!

Risotto really is the perfect dish for all seasons. All you need is to master the base technique and the possibilities are endless!

Join Chef Michele in her Cape Cod kitchen as she guides you step-by-step in preparing the perfect Risotto. Choose between two suggested recipes: Mushroom or Seafood Risotto. Based on your choice, Chef Michele has provided some suggested wine pairings to prepare ahead of class (within the recipe you will receive).

How you participate in the wine tasting portion of class is entirely up to you! Choose one of the suggested wines and enjoy a nice glass throughout the class, or partake in a guided tasting by pouring a few ounces of each type into a clean glass. When the Risotto is ready to be enjoyed, Chef Michele will engage the class in a tasting and discussion. Learn which wines accentuate the flavors in your dish and what to look for when choosing a wine to pair with different Italian foods. You may even discover your new favorite variety!

Invite your friends and family to join you so you can connect virtually and enjoy a fun evening of cooking and drinking wine. No experience is required!

You will receive an email with the equipment and ingredients list. However, the main ingredients required to participate along with the chef include: onion, garlic, olive oil, butter, broth, arborio rice, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, fresh herbs, and your selected wine(s) of choice.

Measure out your ingredients ahead of the session, break out the wine glasses and let’s get cooking together!
