Italian Valentines Dinner
Skip the crowded restaurant and create an unforgettable Italian dinner at home! In this special occasion class, you'll prepare a romantic and delicious menu perfect for Valentine's Day or any night worth celebrating. Begin with a flavorful Cannellini Bean Dip and Roasted Red Peppers served with toasted garlic bruschetta. For the main course, Chicken Valdostana, a rich dish layered with prosciutto, fontina, mushrooms, and white wine sauce, then you'll make Pasta alla Trapanese, a Sicilian-inspired sauce of basil, mint, almonds, garlic, tomatoes, and pecorino. End on a sweet note with luscious Amaretto Chocolate Truffles. Come with your partner, a friend, or solo—this class is about great food and even better company!

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.
