Time to cook again- with a twist!!
A Night in Tuscany: An Italian Dining Experience 🍷✨
Close your eyes and imagine the rolling hills of Tuscany, the scent of fresh herbs and roasted garlic in the air, and the sound of beautiful Italian music setting the mood. Now, open them—because we’re bringing that experience to you!
Join us for a hands-on, rustic Italian feast where food, music, and good company come together for a night to remember.
🍞 Start with a rustic antipasto platter – A selection of classic Italian bites to enjoy with your first sip of Chianti.
🍝 Roll your own handmade fresh pasta – Learn the art of Tuscan pasta-making—no machines, just tradition!
🔥 Savor Tuscan herb-roasted chicken – A dish infused with garlic, rosemary, and olive oil, cooked to perfection.
🍋 End the night with Limoncello & Dessert – A sweet Italian send-off to complete the experience.
🍷 Sip on authentic Italian Chianti – Because no Tuscan night is complete without wine!
🎶 And to transport you straight to Italy, enjoy live Italian music by Hauna & Friends!

CANCELLED- please accept my apology. I am having to cancel the class on Thursday. Not enough attendance to make it a great class- I always strive to give 110% but its hard to give a great class with little attendance. Busy month I guess for everyone- we will be back in November! :) See you all then!
