Flavor Principles of Ethnic Cooking • Nuovo Italian

Harkening back to ancient Roman times, olive oil, garlic, cheese, and herbs have been combined around the Mediterranean region to become the essence of classic Italian cuisine. The best Italian dishes are the simplest ones using the freshest seasonal ingredients and focusing on enhancing natural flavors. Modern Italian cuisine is more focused on regional specialties and often show influences from neighboring countries. But the core philosophy of simplicity and sourcing fresh seasonal local ingredients remains the same. Tonight's recipes were developed to highlight the seasonal flavors of fall with an emphasis on nutrition and taste. Join us for this hands-on cooking class where we will be making these healthy vegetarian dishes from scratch:

• Butternut Squash Ravioli with Ricotta Cheese
• Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad with Dried Cranberries & Sunflower Seeds
• Dirty Chai Tiramisu
