Immerse yourself in the centuries-old culinary traditions of Italian risotto preparation through this interactive and hands-on cooking class. You will learn the essential techniques that distinguish perfectly creamy risotto from other rice dishes, mastering the foundational methods that serve as the basis for countless regional and creative variations throughout Italy and beyond.
The experience begins with an elegant appetizer course featuring fresh burrata cheese, served alongside peppery arugula and aged Parmigiano Reggiano shavings that complement the creamy cheese. Next, you will prepare your choice of risotto. Select from earthy mushroom risotto enriched with black truffle and its distinctive umami flavors, or opt for a bright and savory shrimp and zucchini combination featuring delicate seafood and fresh seasonal vegetables. The class concludes with the preparation of crostatine, traditional Italian hand pies filled with homemade fruit preserves, providing a sweet and satisfying ending to your culinary journey.
