Italian Cooking from Puglia NEW!
This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.
Puglia sits in the boot of Southern Italy and has become a "go to" region when traveling to Italy in part because of their distinct and flavorful cuisine. In class you will learn to make a delicious antipasto dish called Peporoni al Forno, stuffed peppers with anchovies and breadcrumbs, the famous Orrechette with Meatballs, and Braised Broccoli Rabe with Cannellini Beans. Finish with a specialty dessert, Sporcamusi, a puff pastry filled with cream.
NOTE: This class is a high-demand class. If spaces are full, remember to add yourself to the waitlist. If there is enough interest, a second class will be opened up.
