✨ 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.
