In Italy, autumn brings the fragrant smell of roasted chestnuts, the sounds of cacciatore (hunters) hunting for small game and boar, and the last of the vegetable gardens producing sturdy greens (like black cabbage and radicchio). Chef Gerri Sarnataro---who runs her own cooking school in Umbria, Italy---shows you just how to make the most of these winter vegetables, meats, legumes, and pastas in a remarkably hearty and rustic menu. You'll make and feast on: Ravioli with Roasted Chestnuts, Pancetta, and Mascarpone; Tagliolini with Black Cabbage and Manila Clams; Southern Lasagna (with layers of scamorza, pecorino, spicy sausage, and meatballs); and Pappardelle with Duck Ragu.
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.
