Farm to Table Cooking Class with Frati Farms - Fri Aug 22

About this experience

How often do you get to cook with fresh, local, organic vegetables picked that very day? And to prepare the meal alongside the farmer who grew them? 

Join organic grower Enzo Frati (Frati Farms), chef Stefano Agostini (Slow Food Toronto) and Cucinato co-founder Mark Cirillo for this fun, informative, hands-on cooking experience!

Together we will prepare a 3-course meal that brings together classic Italian recipes and fresh seasonal produce from Enzo's farm in Schomberg, Ontario, just one hour north of our studio in Corso Italia.

What you'll learn

• A first hand account of organic farming the GTA area
• Helpful tips for planting, cultivating, harvesting and preserving seasonal produce
• Classic cooking techniques you can adapt for whatever produce is in season

MENU 

Focaccia con pomodorini, zucchine e olive - Homemade focaccia with cherry tomatoes, zucchini and olives 

Melanzane alla parmigiana - Eggplant Parmesan: the best way to time to enjoy this classic Southern Italian dish is in summertime, when locally grown eggplants and tomatoes are in season!

Peperoni ripieni due modi - Stuffed peppers made two ways: one with ground meat, rice and herbs, and a vegetarian version with herbs, cheese and breadcrumbs 

Insalata di patate, fagiolini, cipolle rosse e olive - Potato, green bean, red onion and olive salad

The menu may change slightly depending on the weather and availability at time of the class - but you can be sure we'll be preparing the best produce of the season this evening!
