Oh to be in Florence now that summer’s here! The next best thing may well be to sweep your loved off to a date night cooking class with us. Tuscan cuisine is renowned for its simplicity – great fresh vegetables, lots of herbs and great wines. Inspired by their many bean dishes, crostini, Chianti and of course, home-made pasta, we’ve put together a tasting menu of local Northwest produce, cooked Tuscan-style. We’ll start with crostini ai fegatini di pollo, and a panzanella salad, move to a hearty soup with beans, fennel and home-made ravioli and finish with a dessert using fresh local peaches and honey. And we will sample a couple of top quality local wines that complement our Italian fare.
With chef Barbara Sowatsky who first learned to cook from her Italian grandmother.
Ms Sowatsky is a graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, a personal chef and a chef instructor in Kirkland. She loves food with a Mediterranean flair.
Hands on class.
Maximum 12 guests.
You will be enjoying dinner and wine tasting around 8:30 pm.
