Italian Farmer's Market
Who knows their vegetables like the Italians!  Learn to use produce from your Farmer’s Market to make delicious and nutritious Italian recipes for farm to table meals that will taste like you have been transported to Italy!
Join Chef Diane Manteca to make Baked Zucchini, Fresh Basil and Mushroom Frittata, Tuscan Beans, Escarole & Heirloom Tomatoes with Rigatoni, Sicilian Stuffed Peppers with Roasted Eggplant, Rice and Seasonal Vegetables, and Baked Summer Squash and Parmesan Casserole.  You are welcome to cook along, just make some recipes, or watch and learn.  The ingredient and kitchen equipment list will be sent along a week before the class so you can visit your local Farmer’s Market.
