Italian-American Cuisine Series II
Eggplant Parmesan Dinner

This time she focuses on the baked dishes that have become popular favorites over the years. While these dishes may not be strictly authentic Italian fare, they represent a cuisine that has earned the title of New Yorkers’ favorite food and embody the word “comfort.” Individual classes $45 or The Entire Series $125

This class features: Stuffed Mussels, Eggplant Parmesan, Fennel Salad with Kalamata Olives and Red Onion and Olympic Mountain Spumoni Ice Cream with Homemade Espresso Fudge Sauce.
