Hands on Tuscan Feast

Tuscany is one our favorite places on earth: unique and varied landscapes, great villas, palaces and gardens and of course, its art. And then there is the wine,

peppery olive oils, Chianina beef and an array of cheeses. In this class we will examine bringing together the simplest ingredients into the perfect combinations such as cantaloupe and salami, corn and risotto and fillet of beef with Arugula and olives. Come try your hand at rolling and tying a tenderloin of beef and making a free form tart shell that can be sweet as well as savory.
