Join Leah Guadagnoli for a cooking class where we learn to make three surprising dishes, or even an entire meal from one of summer’s most abundant and versatile vegetables – zucchini. We’ll start with a crowd-pleasing and elegant squash carpaccio dressed in fruity olive oil and lemon juice, then dazzled with edible flowers. For our main, we’ll shred, strain, and caramelize a rainbow of courgettes into a creamy concoction perfect with any pasta, such as bucatini with loads of fragrant basil and mint. To finish, a no-measure ciambellone cake with, you guessed it, lots of zucchini!
This demonstration class (plus lunch) is limited to ten people.
Leah Guadagnoli is an artist, chef, and homesteader living in Hillsdale, NY.

Through extensive research and an ethically conscious appreciation of other cultures through food, her goal is to celebrate our commonalities and unique differences to form connections and better understand the world we share. When she’s not busy in the kitchen, you can find her working in the studio making abstract sculptural paintings she’s been exhibiting internationally over the past decade or tending to her garden with the company of her beloved flock of chickens.
