My husband and I were downtown yesterday to provision more food for our boat trip, but decided we had to have a little treat before heading out, and the staff was super friendly and quick.

Overview

This cooking class invites you to celebrate the season’s best ingredients and learn how to bring a taste of Italy to your own table.

Start by crafting crispy polenta bites topped with a tangy arugula pesto and creamy goat cheese. Then learn the techniques to grill a tender, marinated steak and serve it with a zesty salsa verde. Brighten your plate with a fresh summer farro salad tossed with sweet cherry tomatoes and basil, and complete your meal on a sweet note with a smooth and creamy lemon mascarpone gelato.

Pair your creations with your favorite wine or beer — guests are welcome to bring their own to sip and enjoy during the class.
