Italian Vegetarian
Vegetarian foods are becoming more popular by the day, and Italian cooking is the perfect style of cooking when adapting to a vegetarian diet! Join Chef Diane and make yummy vegetarian versions of classic Italian dishes, with recipes ranging from regions at the top of Italy to the bottom of the “boot”.  We will make Tofu Cutlets Parmesan, Spezzadini Stew (string beans, potatoes, tomato sauce and beans), Vegetarian Bolognese Sauce, and Pizza Escarole.   Enjoy learning a new way of cooking with vegetarian ingredients.

Tuition includes a materials fee for food. (Demonstration and participation.)
