Private Chef - Italian Classics with a Modern Twist

Explore the flavors and textures of Italian cuisine.

Join Chef Raymond for a fun and interactive cooking class featuring the traditional techniques of authentic Italian recipes. Learn how to master knife skills and try your hand at sautéing, steaming and braising. You'll start by preparing a fresh fennel and orange salad topped with toasted almonds and a creamy Dijon vinaigrette. Your entrée is a white wine risotto with pecorino that you'll top with fried sage and crispy prosciutto. Dessert is a deconstructed tiramisu served with espresso or hot herbal tea.

Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to accompany the menu, and may request pairing recommendations from the chef upon booking.
