✨ A Taste of Italy: A Hands-On Culinary Journey! ✨🇮🇹
Pack your appetite and your sense of adventure—it’s time to eat your way through Italy, no passport required! 🍝🍷 Join us for an unforgettable evening of hands-on cooking, laughter, and authentic Italian flavor as Chef John Alunni guides you through the art of creating fresh, restaurant-quality dishes right from scratch using his family’s recipes.
In this fun and interactive class, you’ll roll up your sleeves and dive into the heart of Italian cooking—from kneading silky semolina pasta dough to rolling, cutting, and filling it like a true Italian chef. Along the way, Chef John will share insider tips, culinary secrets, and a touch of Italian flair that will have you cooking with confidence and style! 👨‍🍳
You’ll master the art of handcrafted pasta, bold sauces, and decadent desserts—all while sipping, stirring, and savoring every delicious moment. By the end of the evening, you’ll not only have a full belly but also the skills (and recipes!) to recreate these classics at home.
✨ Here’s What’s on the Menu:
🦞 Crab & Lobster Ravioli with Brown Butter Sage Sauce – Luxuriously rich and buttery, with a hint of nutty sage that melts in your mouth.
🍄 Pappardelle with Creamy Sausage & Wild Mushroom Alfredo – A comforting, velvety pasta dish that’s pure Italian soul food.
🥓 Angel Hair Carbonara – A light, creamy twist on a Roman classic that’s impossible to resist.
🍞 Homemade Focaccia Bread – Warm, golden, and perfect for soaking up every drop of that heavenly sauce.
🍋 Lemon Ricotta Almond Cake – Moist, delicate, and bursting with bright citrus flavor—the perfect finale to your Italian feast!
🍸 Cocktail Special: Italian Raspberry Martini – A fizzy, fruity delight to sip as you cook and celebrate la dolce vita!
👨‍🍳 Instructor: Chef John Alunni – Your culinary tour guide and pasta whisperer!
🍽️ Format: Demonstration & Hands-On
Come hungry, leave happy, and bring home a little piece of Italy in every bite. ❤️🇮🇹✨
