Event Overview
Vegetables are the true heart of Italian home cooking. While most associate Italian cooking with iconic dishes such as pasta and pizza, the truth is that vegetables are the major players. In fact, vegetables often take the place of meat in many traditional "cucina povera" dishes.
In this hands-on cooking class taught by acclaimed author Domenica Marchetti, you'll pay tribute to vegetables from the beginning to end of the meal:
Minestrone Verde
a farmers' market-inspired "green" minestrone, with Tuscan kale, peas, zucchini and spinach
Eggplant "Meatballs" in Tomato Sauce
roasted eggplant puree is a clever stand-in for meat in this classic Neapolitan main course
Sweet and Sour Peppers with Oil-Cured Olives
a colorful side with layers of flavor
Carrot Polenta Cake with Marsala
an easy, tender and moist cake made with olive oil
Minimum age
All ages welcome
