Cooking Class - Classic Fare From Little Italy
Get ready to learn how to make authentic Italian manicotti and more just like Nonna.
In this hands-on cooking class with Chef Eric, you will learn how to prepare an authentic three-course Italian menu using only the freshest, highest-quality, in-season ingredients and time-honored Italian recipes and culinary techniques.
Chef Eric will begin by teaching you how to make a traditional Italian bruschetta appetizer drizzled with a balsamic glaze. Then, you will learn how to prepare delicate, creamy manicotti stuffed with a fragrant, garlicky ricotta completely from scratch. Lastly, you will end on a sweet note with a refreshing lemon raspberry granita for dessert.

We had such a great time learning with Chef Eric! He has a great and patient way of making the skills easy to understand and fun to learn. It was also really nice that the meal itself was approachable for those of us who aren't so stong in the kitchen. And, of course, it doesn't hurt that the food was delicious!

Chef Eric very easy to work with, very fun, very experienced, shows skill and tips on doing things correctly during the food prep. Very patient and answers all questions. He can cook using what ever is on hand doesn’t need specialized gadgets. A true chef all the way. Appreciates flavor and texture and simple fresh ingredients. Teaches you to use your senses when cooking. Will be going back for sure. Use Chef Eric. He’s the real deal.
