Cooking Class - Rustic Italian Feast

Transform fresh, simple ingredients into a hearty Italian feast with Chef Charuta.
In this hands-on cooking class, Chef Charuta will guide you as you prepare an Italian-inspired menu focused on familiar, regional ingredients and traditional kitchen techniques.
Begin by making a bright Italian salad with tangy dressing, salty olives, bold pepperoncini and crisp croutons. Next, you'll learn how to craft savory arancini: Crunchy fried balls of rice stuffed with creamy mozzarella, tomatoes and vibrant herbs. For the main course, prepare classic shrimp scampi or chicken in fresh tomato sauce, each with homemade pasta. Dessert is a luscious, handmade ricotta cake with blueberry compote.
Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

We took a Rustic Italian class with Chef Charuta. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very personable. She answered our questions, demonstrated culinary techniques and had us assist with various aspects of the meal preparation to make sure we understood about the process. Making the pasta from scratch was a highlight and she made sure that we thoroughly understood and participated in each step. She plated our courses beautifully, and while we ate each one she cleaned up and prepped for the next part of the meal while she chatted with us. Thank you, Charuta! It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!
