I am offering an experience for small groups, up to 8 persons at a time, providing the recipes and menus for traditional, regional Italian meals. Classes will be done in my home in Northwest Illinois, in small groups, by a woman of Italian heritage who is a “home cook,” and has studied at a cooking school in Florence Italy.

Seasonal menus are selected including Antipasti, (appetizer) Primi Piatti, - (first course – usually a fresh pasta course with a sauce of your selection) Secondi Piatti, - (main course – including a protein and contorni, or side dish) and finally, Dolci, (dessert).

You will learn cooking techniques, timing the food preparation for the chosen recipes, and afterward, enjoy the meal, taking home all leftovers.

Cost per person will be determined by menu selection and will include all foods prepared, beverages for the meal, as well as printed recipes for each, and the “hands on” instruction.
