What you will learn
New York-style Italian cuisine shows off its bold, flavorful character in this rustic menu. There's something special about Italian dining in New York City, as this cooking class with Chef Mell demonstrates. Learn what makes the difference between classic Italian fare and Italian done with true NYC flair. You'll create bruschetta topped with tender heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella and assemble an arugula salad featuring homemade vinaigrette. Then, cook up a breaded chicken entrée made zesty with lemon caper sauce and mashed red potatoes as a savory side dish. And for a perfect chef's kiss of an Italian dessert, prepare a batch of authentic cannoli. Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to enjoy during the class.
