Overview
DATE NIGHT: SPRING IN ITALY!
Saturday, May 23rd, 6 pm-9pm
Registration includes two people.
Transport yourselves to the rolling hills of Tuscany and the breezy Amalfi coast—no passport required. This hands-on date night cooking class celebrates the romance of Italian cuisine at the height of spring, using fresh, seasonal ingredients grown right here on the farm.
Together, you and your guest will prepare a full Italian-inspired meal, from handmade ricotta gnudi, a bright and briny fish piccata, and a creamy, dreamy tiramisu to end the evening. Along the way, you'll learn approachable techniques and timeless flavor combinations to bring a little la dolce vita into your own kitchen.
Cook side by side and learn to shape fresh ricotta , sear tender local fish, and layer the perfect seasonal fruit tiramisu with whipped mascarpone—all while sipping Italian wine and savoring the flavors of summer in Italy.
