Cooking Class: Make Risotto From Scratch
Prepare a meal centered around the creamy traditions of risotto in this hearty interactive cooking class from Chef Burcu. Discover the foolproof process for turning out delicious dishes filled with fresh tastes and textures. You'll begin with a salad of seasonal greens topped with fruits and nuts for a sweet textural touch. Then, craft an authentic risotto filled with a trio of tender crimini, oyster and shiitake mushrooms. Turn asparagus, parmesan and garlic into a fresh, creamy side dish and whip up a zesty sorbet made with green apples topped with ginger crumble for a soothing dessert.

Excellent chef and great teacher. Explained the little things that the books and many courses leave out. Patiently answered all of my many questions. Then I got to enjoy a great meal. All costing not much more than going out to an inferior dinner. I highly recommend her sessions.

Amazing experience, I highly recommend it! Chef Burcu is very welcoming and passionate about her specialty cuisines. She taught me how to make a savory creamy red lentil soup that is perfect for the upcoming fall season. I would definitely take one of her classes once again.
