Cooking Class: Handmade Venetian Cuisine With Chef Barbara

Your vacation to Italy isn't complete until you discover the culinary traditions of the region in this fun cooking class!


Led by renowned, skilled Chef Barbara, this class teaches you how to prepare an authentic menu of Italian favorites using the freshest local ingredients. Start with crisp and earthy Venetian-style artichokes sautéed in an olive oil-infused sauce. Then, prepare delicate ravioli stuffed with creamy ricotta and market fresh vegetables. If ravioli isn't your style, try your hand at preparing fresh risotto featuring ingredients like asparagus or squid ink, where the ocean's flavors come alive. The class ends on a sweet note with your choice between two classic desserts, creamy panna cotta or a rich mocha enhanced Tiramisù.
