August 10 - September 28 - Solare Cooking Classes ~ August & Sept Schedule

Cooking Classes at Solare. Here is our schedule for August and September 2024.

The first Class is Saturday August 10 – “Seafood Italian-style” with Exec Chef Denice Grande.

Based on lots of requests, see the brand new Class we have on Authentic Pozole.

Typically $95++ per student.  Includes the hands-on cooking class, wine, and a full lunch.  Limit is usually 10 students per class.

We love doing Cooking Classes here at Solare!

Our Cooking Classes offer a truly hands-on experience allowing each student to create Italian cuisine themselves to make at home.  Our classes are not just a “demonstration”.

The classes are held pretty much every other Saturday, and the fun typically starts at 10:30am at Solare (10am for some classes) with an Italian-style coffee of your choice.  Italian wine is served for students interested in “cooking with wine”.

• Aug 10 – Seafood Italian-style
• Aug 24 – Pizza from Scratch!
• Aug 31 – Osso buco and Risotto
• Sep 7 – Pozole … Authentic
• Sep 14 – Pasta from Scratch
• Sep 28 – Lasagna with Chef Maria

The Classes do sell out fast due to the limited size.
