From fritto misto to veal with prosciutto, Italy offers a seemingly endless selection of dishes that celebrate land and water. The country's thousands of miles of coastline, lakes and rivers, prized cow breeds and world-class salumi tradition result in meat- and seafood-centric dishes that can be rustic, sophisticated and anything in between. In this class, you will cover specialties from all corners of Italy, making fritto misto (assortment of fried fish and seafood); veal saltimbocca; asparagus-parmesan risotto; grilled Treviso radicchio; and chocolate and cherry biscotti. An Aperol spritz will awaken your appetite.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
