Learn to make four classic Italian pasta sauces from scratch. We’ll make Sicily’s pasta con sarde with bucatini, toss spaghetti with savoy cabbage, crispy pancetta and Calabrian chilis, and combine orecchiette with pancetta and broccoli. We’ll also make a rich, slow-cooked Italian sausage sauce served with penne. You’ll learn how to cook pasta perfectly and use the starchy cooking water to finish each sauce, giving you four delicious dishes to add to your home cooking repertoire.

Join Chef Owner Kathryn Joel for a festive afternoon of holiday baking, as you create a selection of classic European treats to share over the holidays. Together you’ll bake rich, fruit-studded Stollen, traditional Mince Pies filled with spiced fruit, delicate Linzer Cookies layered with jam, and crunchy Biscotti with cranberries, white chocolate and almonds. Sip a glass of homemade eggnog as you bake and enjoy the treats you’ve made, creating a warm and celebratory holiday atmosphere.
