Italian Homemade Specialty Foods
Have you ever wondered how ricotta cheese is made? It’s easier than you think! In this class, we’ll start by creating our own fresh ricotta cheese from scratch — then use it in a delicious recipe. Next, we’ll roll up our sleeves to prepare hand-rolled tagliatelle, a classic pasta from Northern Italy. We’ll also make Piadina, the beloved Italian flatbread cooked right in a skillet and filled with a variety of tasty ingredients. To finish, we’ll prepare Farinata, the famous street food of Genoa, a flavorful, gluten-free flatbread made from chickpea flour.
Join us for a true taste of Italy’s culinary traditions, simple, rustic, and irresistibly delicious!
