June 01 - Cooking Class: Authentic Pizza from Scratch
Have you ever wanted to learn how to make pizza in the authentic style from the renowned city of Napoli? How about a tasty Sfincione from Sicily; Focaccia from Liguria? Here is your perfect opportunity.
Pizza Chef Brian will guide you through each step – starting with making the dough from scratch. This is very HANDS ON – you are learning to make pizza and not just watching someone else show you. Each student will take home extra dough to show off their pizza making skills that evening at home!
The lesson is held in our kitchen and is “hands-on” and not a mere cooking “demonstration”. The fun starts at 10:30am at Solare with an Italian-style coffee of your choice. Italian wine is served for students interested in “cooking with wine”. Important: Please wear closed toe shoes. Class size is small and intimate and limited to approximately 10 students. $95++/student that includes the class, wine, and lunch. It’s fun! Reserve today.
