One-Day Italian Culinary Basics
Italy is a country of many distinctive regions with individualized cooking styles, techniques and ingredients. The common thread that weaves these regions together is an undying passion for authentic Italian food and a reverence for simple yet skilled cooking. Considered by many to be the finest in the world, Italian food is straightforward fare made with fresh, well-chosen ingredients. Although no one class could ever encapsulate the cuisine of a country so diverse, we’ve selected a sampling of our favorites. Enjoy Lemon Shrimp Bruschetta as you arrive, then spend the next few hours learning about the unique culinary traditions of this amazing country. After indulging in our skillfully prepared Italian feast, we’ll end the class with homemade Chocolate Biscotti served with decadent Italian custard gelato. Molto bene!
