About this Event
Grab your apron and get ready to eat your way through Italy!
This hands-on, interactive cooking class will take you on a delicious little journey through some of North America’s favourite Italian-inspired dishes, with Chef H in the driver’s seat.
No passport required. No jet lag. No $1,500 airfare.
Just good food, a few cooking tricks, plenty of laughs, and the very satisfying experience of sitting down to eat something you helped create. 🍷🇮🇹
👨🍳 What’s Cooking?
🍝 Bowtie Pasta with Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato Cream
Farfalle alla Crema Pomodoro
A rustic, creamy pasta inspired by central Italy, loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, white wine and fresh herbs. Rich without being ridiculous, comforting without putting you straight into a food coma.
🍋 Lemon Herb Chicken Thighs
Pollo al Limone
The perfect partner for that beautiful pasta. Tender, golden chicken thighs seared in butter with lemon, white wine and fresh herbs.
Basically, all the good stuff.
🥗 Authentic-ish Caesar Salad
Yes, a traditional Caesar dressing uses raw egg yolks and anchovies, and yes, that usually gets a lot of: “Nope. Absolutely not.” So Chef H is going to show you an easy little hack that gives you that classic Caesar flavour without the ingredients that make people suspicious of their salad.
You'll also learn the surprisingly entertaining story behind the Caesar salad, including the fact that despite its Italian-sounding reputation, it wasn't actually born in Italy.
🤫 Secret Appetizer
We're not telling! You'll have to come to class for this one. 😉
🍮 Dessert: Panna Cotta
Light. Creamy. Elegant. Panna cotta is one of those deceptively simple Italian classics that looks fancy enough to impress your dinner guests while secretly being much easier than it appears.
Chef will demonstrate all the tips and tricks for getting that perfectly silky panna cotta, from technique to texture.
🔥 This Isn't a Sit-Back-and-Watch Class
You'll be in the kitchen, hands-on and involved. Chef H will guide you through the techniques, explain the why behind what you're doing, and share the little tricks that make restaurant-style food much easier to recreate at home.
Then comes the best part…
We eat.
Because cooking without eating is just suspicious.
