The series began on January 22nd with a “Perfect Pasta” class where attendees had a chance to learn how to make and roll their own pasta. In addition, attendees explored ragouts and other sauces that could be used for their pasta creations. Check out some of the pics from the pasta class throughout this blog post!
The series continued on February 12th with a “Brazilian Summer Feast” class. During this class, attendees had the opportunity to explore and prepare the various foods of the wonderfully exotic country of Brazil.
