Cucinare con Vera

Translation: Cooking with Vera


Tuesday, October 12, Jamie and I had our first cooking class. It was supposed to be a group of about 15 or so, husbands too, somehow Jamie ended up the only male in the class. Vera, our teacher, LOVED him!! She really put him to work though!


Several of the people in the class I already knew, some I had seen before, and there were a few new faces and names to remember. But it was an excellent group of people, we had a blast!! Vera has quite the set up for so many of us to take part in creating the extravagant menu she has planned, each of us volunteering to do different steps of different recipes.


This class's menu:
Antipasto: Bruschetta, stuffed & fried zucchini flowers and Bresaola with rucola
Primo: Risotto with mushrooms and risotto with pumpkin
Secondo: Polpettone (Italian meatloaf) with carrot salad and potatoes with tomatoes and fresh onions
Dolce: Lemon Tiramisu


And every bit of it was DELICIOUS!!

I can't wait to go back for more cooking classes!
