Join us on a culinary journey where you will learn the history and traditions of regional Italian cuisine.
The starting point for our class is Liguria, the region of the city of Genoa. This city created one of the most famous cold sauces in the world, pesto alla Genovese (Basil pesto).
From Genoa we will move to Emilia Romagna, the Italian region well known for Mortadella, Prosciutto di Parma, and Bolognese sauce. Yum! Here we will learn to make fresh egg Tagliatelle pasta completely from scratch. The method for preparing your pasta dish will come from Veneto, the homeland of Bellini and Tiramisu. Once you have completed your culinary journey and taken the steps to cook and plate your dish, we will sit down to enjoy the best plate of pasta Italy can offer without stepping on a plane.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. 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).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check in. Street parking is available around the venue, as well as a paid parking garage at the Holiday Inn just next door. You will be seated with your booking party. The nature of our classes is set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. This class is BYOB. Beer and wine is welcome for those over the age of 21.
To ensure the safety and enriching experience of all participants, we require children aged 14 to 17 be accompanied by a parent or guardian during our cooking classes. Classes are intended for adults 18+.
