About this Event
In this intimate and exclusive culinary experience, you will learn the beauty and simplicity of creating delicious and home style Italian antipasto - from roasting red peppers over an open flame to frying six types of olives with green oil and green garlic. Chef Monte will guide you through making a traditional eggless pasta dough and you'll explore the science and history of shaping Orecchiette by hand.
Once you have finished making you dish, everyone will dine together and say cheers to celebrate the fruits of our labor.
For the best experience, please make one reservation on behalf of everyone in your party so we can arrange social distance friendly setup for everyone. No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets in case you wish to recreate the dish on your own after the class. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. When we say "small group size", we mean it! Chef Monte will receive no more than 8 guests at a time so you can be confident this will be an exclusive group with undivided attention from the Chef for each individual. No need to worry about the crowd you often find at a typical restaurant setting!
