Class Descriptions

January 30th: Super Fast, Super Delicious Dinners
Craving real food that you can make in under 30 minutes, save you money and yet be
amazingly delicious? Spend the evening watching Chef Beth “on the fly” cooking original
meals your family will love with less time for working and more for enjoying. A bonus is
the fact that cooking scratch meals saves you real cash – without unhealthy preservatives,
fillers or flavorings. Start the year with a new love of cooking for your family and savor
the rewards all year long!

February 6th: Exploring Coastal Italy
Rugged, beautiful and encompassing many climates and traditions – Italy’s coastal and
island regions provide a wealth of dishes to enjoy. Often quick and fresh with seafood
or spicy and slow-simmered, we will “travel” the shores of this great culinary country
and taste what it has to offer. Naturally this class has a particular emphasis on seafood
dishes such as Sicilian grilled swordfish with lemon, but also includes the pesto of Liguria,
regional pizzas, a myriad of pasta dishes like Apulian orecchiete with broccoli, Sardinian
almond cake and many more delights.

February 13th: Classics of Emilia-Romagna
The regional cuisines of Italy continue to be among the most popular classes we present.
This second night of our “Romance in Italy” series Chef Beth shows you the rich and
tempting fare from the region that brought the world prosciutto and parmigiano reggiano.
A heartland of creamy risottos and succulent braised meats, earthy ragus and delicate
fresh pastas, the dishes reflect the traditions of the land and the history of it’s people.

February 27th: Tuscan Sophisticated-Rustic
The sun kissed hills of Tuscany offer a simple peasant cuisine which belies the urban
sophistication of Florence and other cities in the region. This class is a look at how
ingredients and techniques span both styles of cooking, creating masterful Italian classics
you can create in your own kitchen. Panzanella salad, “stray and hay” pasta, sole Florentine
and roast pork loin with rosemary are but a few of the recipes you’ll enjoy tasting and then
creating in your own Tuscan inspired kitchen.

March 20th: Southeast Asian Daily Meals
Take the bright, exotic flavors of the Pacific Rim and make them quick and easy to
make any night of the week and you’ll have Chef Beth’s inspiration for this fun class.
The dishes of Vietnam, Thailand and on south to Indonesia are healthy, full of herbs
and fiery spice and rich with complex flavors that you will learn to compose into dinner
for two or a small crowd. Unique appetizers, soups, curries, noodles, vegetable and
rice dishes will fill you with tropical inspiration!

March 27th: On the Road to Morocco – A Feast of Spice
This evening is worth the price just for dinner: cous cous, tagines, hummus; the very
words conjure up exotic nights full of splendid dishes. Join Chef Beth for an always
popular evening of large-flavored and intriguing foods from this very small region
and a celebration of traditions including eating with your fingers and “dining” with
your nose!
