What You’ll Do

Modest bites prepared in Italian style make for a lavish culinary workshop.

This in person cooking class with Chef Aaron is your opportunity to explore the aperitivo culture of Italian dining. Taking cues from Venetian dining traditions, the menu you'll create brings together a selection of appetizer-style creations you'll adore.

In this session, you'll discover how easy it is to make your own focaccia using wholesome ingredients and fresh herbs for flavor. Create sgagliozze, a savory combination of fried polenta with tomato and cheese, as well as fresh crostini topped with salami handmade. You'll also prepare baccalà mantecato, a regional specialty consisting of whipped salted cod with lemon and parsley.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.
