Risotto & Arancini Cooking Class

The beauty of Italian Cuisine is that it isn't as complicated as you might expect - it's all about technique and the quality of the ingredients! Join us for a hands-on, flavorful experience where you'll learn how to create the perfect risotto and master the art of making crispy, golden arancini—two iconic Italian dishes that are easier than you think once you know the tricks!

In this fun, interactive class, we’ll kick things off by making a creamy, aromatic risotto with saffron, lemon, and a generous touch of Parmigiano Reggiano—simple ingredients that pack huge flavor. Don’t worry, we’ll break down the technique step by step, so you’ll feel like a pro by the end of the class! Risotto isn’t scary—it’s all about understanding a few key concepts and embracing the process.

While our risotto simmers away, you'll get hands-on with making arancini—those beautiful, golden-fried rice balls filled with oozy, fresh imported cheeses. Everyone will make their own arancini, and yes, you get to take them home to enjoy later!

What’s included:

• Glass of Wine or Prosecco to sip on while you cook.
• Charcuterie Antipasto with imported meats and cheeses to nibble on throughout the class.
• Delicious Dessert to cap off the experience!
