Delightful Italian
Welcome to Classic Italian Cooking, where we explore a bright, flavorful menu built around simple ingredients, beautiful technique, and the kind of dishes that feel both elegant and deeply comforting. This class is designed for anyone who wants to experience the warmth of Italian cooking while learning how to balance richness, acidity, freshness, and texture across a full meal.
You’ll begin with a savory ricotta and anchovy canapé, then prepare a classic chicken piccata with lemon, butter, and capers. We’ll round out the meal with penne in a roasted red and yellow pepper sauce, tender green beans finished with butter and vinegar, and a fresh fruit dessert of macerated peaches and strawberries with Moscato.
