About this Event

About this Class:

It’s time to get your hands messy! In our hands-on format, our Scuola Chef will prepare the signature dish for you to taste in class. You’ll then dive right in to making the recipe yourself from scratch. Take your culinary creation with you at the end of class and enjoy your own hard work at home!

About this Dish:

Unlike green Pesto alla Genovese from Genoa, Pesto alla Trapanese is a Sicilian Pesto made from tomatoes, almonds, garlic, olive oil, and basil. Pesto alla Trapanese gets its name from the word pestare, meaning to pound or crush, as the traditional method uses a mortar and pestle to mix the sauce. In this class, you’ll make your own pesto from scratch.

In this Class You Will:

  • Learn about the traditions and culture of Pesto alla Trapanese
  • Observe as our Scuola Chef teaches the group how to make Pesto alla Trapanese
  • Make your own Pesto alla Trapanese
  • Enjoy a menu featuring an antipasto and wine pairing
