The Fine Art of Italian Cooking: A Tribute to Giuliano Bugialli

For ages 18 & up

Pick up a bit of history along with culinary tips as our instructors introduce you to traditional Tuscan dishes. As you sit back and relax,  you'll enjoy panzanella, one of the most characteristic of all Florentine dishes which relies on fresh summer tomatoes and basil; a spicy, peppery Tuscan pasta; chicken flavored with pancetta, almonds and fennel, cooked to perfection; and, as the grand finale, warm handmade crepes with cinnamon-scented raisins and orange sauce. 

For ages 18 & up. 21 or over? A glass of Italian wine will be paired with your meal.
