About this Event
Risotto & Macedonia: An Italian Cooking Class
Join us for a delicious hands-on class dedicated to one of Italy’s most beloved dishes: Mushroom risotto. In this interactive experience, you’ll learn the techniques that transform simple rice into a perfectly creamy and flavorful risotto.
Chef Michele will guide you step by step through the process—from selecting the right rice and building flavor with soffritto and broth, to mastering the essential finishing technique known as mantecatura for that signature silky texture.
To complete the menu, we’ll also prepare Macedonia di Frutta, a classic Italian fruit salad made with fresh seasonal fruit, citrus, and a touch of sweetness—light, refreshing, and the perfect finish to a comforting risotto.
Along the way you’ll enjoy plenty of tastings, helpful cooking tips, and a relaxed evening celebrating simple Italian flavors.
Come hungry, ready to cook, and leave confident making risotto at home.
APPETIZERS AND WINE INCLUDED!
