A Vegetarian Valentine's Day Dinner

It's a celebration of all things Mexican. We'll cover Mexico’s greatest dishes and drinks, as well as a few with a twist. We'll make and then dine on: fresh corn tortillas; adobo chicken; grilled skirt steak; sautéed shrimp; fresh pico de gallo; guacamole; and to drink, a classic margarita!

Seafood, vegetables, whole grains, herbs and olive oil are among the ingredients most associated with countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. They make for flavorful dishes that trigger memories of sunbathed vacations and leisurely meals. This class focuses on the cuisines of Southern France, Eastern Spain, Italy and Greece. You will cook your way through a menu-map that includes French olive tapenade on garlic toast; Greek briam; Spanish fideua Catalania; and Sicilian pesce spada.

Let's eat like we're in Italy, from the apps all the way through to a rich dessert! These dishes put you back in that Mediterranean mindset...even if you've never been there. Make and sit down to this warm, comforting Italian banquet of: fried zucchini with Parmesan; veal saltimbocca alla romana; spaghetti carbonara; cavolfiore alla napoletana (cauliflower with raisins and pine nuts).
