Springtime Favorites from Liguria
Allison Bader and Amelia Hard have been cooking and teaching together for almost ten years, drawing on their backgrounds in catering and restaurants to share a full range of culinary skills in their classes. They are also known for their expertise in matching food and wine.
Allison, who is trained in classic French culinary techniques, co-founded and ran the kitchen at Boston’s award-winning A Mano Catering. In addition to her formidable skills as a chef, she loves sharing tips on how to prep ahead when entertaining, so that you can enjoy your dinner as much as your guests do. Amelia learned to cook from her Italian mother, then honed her expertise in Italian cuisine as chef/owner of Portland’s beloved Genoa Restaurant for eleven years. As a teacher, her greatest pleasure is to share her passion for searching out the best ingredients and then preparing them with a minimum of fuss.
Both Allison and Amelia believe that cooking is not a mysterious skill available only to professionals—it’s a lifelong source of creativity, fun, and satisfaction open to anyone who loves to eat.
Springtime Favorites from Liguria Liguria, lying along the Italian Riviera, is renowned as the home of basil pesto; its cuisine is vibrant with herbs and green vegetables, which Ligurians take great pride in growing in their home gardens. Amelia and Allison have put together a menu that shows off some of Liguria's loveliest springtime dishes.
Imbrogliata di Carciofi A delicate artichoke custard flavored with Gruyere and Reggiano Parmesan cheeses
Trenette col Pesto Liguria's favorite traditional pasta: wide noodles, gold potatoes, and green beans, tossed with basil pesto
Fricassea Liguriana Boneless chicken breasts with green peas in a luscious puréed sauce of onion, Italian parsley, pine nuts, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest
Torta di Pasta Frolla A flaky, buttery pastry torte filled with jam and topped with a beautiful lattice crust
