How do cooking classes work? What is included?

​

It’s very easy – you email or call me with your ideas and number of people you would like to host for an in-home cooking lesson. I show up with all needed materials, we use your kitchen space to have a very interactive cooking class that usually lasts about 4 hours total, and we all taste and experience our amazing creations together! All classes always includes a full meal for all participants, usually with yummy leftovers for the host as well!

 

How do in-home food parties work? What is included?

​

Whatever the occasion (just a weekend get together with friends, birthdays (all ages!), graduations, small/medium businesses mixers or team activities – I will work with you to create a menu based on authentic regional Italian traditions.

​

I acquire all needed ingredients. All food will be freshly prepared in your own home, and served either buffet style or sit-down served (as per previously agreed upon preferences), and it included full cleanup.

 

What's on the menu?

​

We will talk and discuss menus together. They usually include three courses (an appetizer, entrée, dessert). I will guide you through dishes from the many regional cuisines of Italy starting with your own ideas, and we will create a culinary and cultural experience that is difficult to replicate (unless you are in Italy!) Check out these SAMPLE menus - but they one represent a tiny fraction of possibilities!

 

Is wine included?

​

It is BYOB, but I can suggest good wine-pairings!

 

What are the prices?

​

As I only source from local and seasonal and very fresh ingredients, pricing varies and depends on many factors (number of guests, menu choice, sit-down served meals vs buffet, etc.) The range is usually between $80 and can go up to $200 per guest depending on the menu, but is typically around the $100 per guest, all inclusive, but not including gratuity.

 

There will be a small travel add-on fee if the event is in New York City. In all, the math is very favorable when compared to hosting a dinner at a restaurant, with a far more authentic and personalized cultural experience (and “wow” factor!) in your own home.

​

Can I gift a cooking class or dinner experience?

YES! This makes for an amazing gift to any loved one, as it is unique, and something everyone remembers for a long time after! Contact me and I will provide a gift "certificate" that is valid for 1 year and can be used anytime based on my availability.
