Sicilian Cooking Class: Winter Edition | Sat Feb 22 - SOLD OUT

About this experience

TONIGHT'S CLASS 

Join us for the winter edition of our Sicilian cooking series! Tonight we'll make some heartier dishes from the region that are perfect to enjoy this time of year.

We'll be making Timballo, the famous drum-shaped baked pasta from Trapani; a slow cooked braised rabbit with olives and herbs; deliciously decadent (and deep fried) dessert ravioli stuffed with ricotta and chocolate; and a few of the sweet-and-sour types of vegetable dishes so typically of the region.  

When we're done cooking, you'll be seated with fellow guests at a harvest table to enjoy the meal we've prepared together, served by our staff. 

A NOTE ABOUT SICILY 

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and thanks to its complex history boasts one of the richest and most diverse cuisines in the region. 

Originally settled by the Greeks in the BC era, Sicily was under Arab rule from the ninth to eleventh centuries, and over the years since has taken many culinary influences from the Normans, Spanish, North Africans, and the island's own substantial Jewish population. 

The resulting fusion of spices, fresh produce and seafood, cooking techniques like "agrodolce" - and some of the best street foods in Italy - make Sicilian cooking truly unique!
