Cooking Class: Seasonal Italian Cooking

Experience what it means to cook with the seasons in this hands-on cooking class, as you prepare signature Italian dishes using fresh, in-season ingredients from the farmers market. 


Italian-trained Chef Chris knows that the secret to really amazing Italian food lies in seasonality, so together you'll create a menu based on locally-harvested ingredients. You'll start by building a white bean crostini with rosemary, roasted garlic and extra virgin olive oil before preparing a fresh kale insalata topped with pumpkin seeds and a citrus vinaigrette. For the main course, you'll highlight locally grown asparagus and mint in a savory lemon risotto dish. Lastly, you'll enjoy a pear and ricotta cake for a divine and seasonal fruit-based dessert.

My niece and I thoroughly enjoyed the pasta class with Chef Chris. We learned so much about the chemistry of cooling and how easy it really is to make incredibly tasty food from whole ingredients. Looking forward to making meals for our family in the upcoming holiday season- especially some homemade gelato/“ice cream”!
