What You’ll Do

This menu takes a lighter twist on traditionally hearty Northern Italian food.

In this cooking class, you'll work hands-on with Chef Laura to build an Italian feast completely from scratch. While Northern Italian fare is traditionally heavy on the meat, this meal offers a lighter take.

Begin class by constructing a caprese salad with a robust balsamic reduction before crafting homemade cheese ravioli with ricotta and Parmesan cheese. Then, Chef Laura will show you how to make a traditional bolognese sauce to top your ravioli. End your meal by deconstructing a cannoli into a delightful parfait for dessert.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Your Menu

Caprese Salad

With tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil and balsamic glaze

Bolognese with Cheese Ravioli

With beef, San Marzano tomatoes, oregano, Parmesan and ricotta

Cannoli Parfait

With pastry crisps, ricotta, powdered sugar and mini chocolate chips

Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated if noted prior to the event. Please mention this in the message field when you submit your booking request as adjustments to recipes cannot be made during class.

Laura was AMAZING! From the minute she walked in, she settled all of our nerves and made the environment so relaxed and welcoming. During the process she not only cleaned up our space to make it perfect, but she brought EVERYTHING we needed. We started the process with a clean kitchen and at the end of the night she helped clean the kitchen again. The food itself was perfect. The cooking process was so much fun, and Laura was great at instructing us how to cook and prepare everything. She also provided awesome history and other cooking facts behind the food we were making. It was engaging from beginning to end and I would HIGHLY recommend using Laura for your next cooking/food event!

Chef Laura was exceptional! She made my 40th birthday dinner something truly special. She was very accommodating to our group (which can be difficult when you have toddlers and young children). I would recommend Chef Laura to anyone considering a private dinner event.

Amazing experience. Chef Laura was so great and she took time to give us techniques to use so not only was it a hands on but a great learning event. I appreciated learning new recipes and also the correct way to slice with a knife.

We really enjoyed our class with Chef Laura. It was a great way to spend an evening. She was professional but fun and very knowledgeable. The class was virtual so she set up her kitchen with multiple cameras so we could see what she was doing.

Many of the meals Chef Laura has taught us to cook have become staples in our house. She is incredibly knowledgeable and so much fun to cook with! I’m pretty skilled in the kitchen, but she always teaches me something new, and her recipes always have ingredients that are easy to find in any grocery store.
