Many of you have asked me to teach an all-Tuscan weekend cooking course in San Francisco, and I can't wait to teach you how to make some of my favorite dishes from this amazing region, just in time for the holidays!
The cuisine of Tuscany is a delicious combination of simple, yet bold flavors and the freshest, high-quality ingredients. The best part is that since the emphasis is on using seasonal produce and local meats, along with expertly crafted imported Italian cheeses, cured hams such as Prociutto di Parma, and flavorful extra virgin olive oil which are now readily available in the US, the recipes are easy to duplicate at home!
During this hands-on weekend cooking class, we'll immerse ourselves in Tuscan menus that celebrate the season. Whether we make Fennel, Prosciutto and Parsley Salad with Shaved Parmesan, Ribollita Soup, Squash Ravioli and Porchetta (Roast Pork with Garlic and Rosemary) or dishes like Artichoke and Lemon Fritters, "Pollo Forte" (Spicy Grilled Chicken Salad with Peppers and Tomatoes) and Ricotta Gnocchi, we'll be sure to make some fabulous desserts, like my Ultimate Tiramisu,for a grand finale. And, of course, we'll taste delicious Tuscan wines that pair beautifully with the meals we've prepared!
Get ready to expand your culinary repetoire and enjoy a Tuscan feast!
In this 2-day course, we'll be cooking in my kitchen studio (the same one that you see on TV!) in San Francisco. Each hands-on cooking class will feature recipes from my travels throughout Tuscany and highlight seasonal ingredients, and diverse cooking techniques.
We'll begin by reviewing the recipes, then students will divide into teams and start cooking. I'll work right along with you and show you how to fine-tune your skills and tastebuds. When we're finished, we'll sit down in my spacious dining room and enjoy the fruits of our labor!
You know How I feel about wine, so a delicious meal is not complete without the perfect wine-pairing! At the end of each class, we'll taste a variety of wines whose flavors and acidity have been selected to match those of each dish.
After cooking during the day, you will still have plenty of time to enjoy San Francisco and all of its wonderful views and sights. We can provide a list of nearby hotels and bed & breakfasts to choose from for your stay. We can also arrange for car or taxi service from/to your hotel to the classes. We are also happy to provide a list of Joanne's favorite San Francisco restaurants, cafes, wine bars, shops, and farmer's market locations.
This weekend course costs $900.00 per person. The cost includes hands-on cooking instruction, copies of all recipes, an apron, and a multi-course lunch each class day complete with wine pairings. Full payment for the course must be included with your completed reservation form. Due to limited availability we cannot provide any refunds for cancellations.
*Note: Course fee does not include accommodations or transportation to the cooking school location.
Classes begin at 10am and finishes at approximately 3pm. Classes are limited to 10 students so everyone gets lots of personal attention and a real hands-on experience. We recommend wearing closed-toe, rubber-soled shoes and comfortable clothes for the cooking classes.
Stay tuned for dates!
