Sicily, the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea, boasts one of the oldest culinary traditions of Europe, rich with Greek and Arabic influences. It is based on the bounty of this fertile island, the high quality and freshness of ingredients in season, and easy-to-master techniques. Giovanna Bellia La Marca was born in Sicily and is the author of "Sicilian Feasts" (Hippocrene Books). Join her for an evening of enchanting foods, glorious wines (such as Corvo and Nero d’Avola), and wonderful stories. You will make and dine on: cavatelli with spicy tomato sauce; cod with garlic and parsley; broccoli and sausage pie; Sicilian pizza with fried onions and anchovies; potato and onion frittata; layered eggplant pie; orange and fennel salad; zeppoles; and zabaglione.
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.
