SUMMARY:Italian-Style Snow Day Cooking\, with Chad Robertson
DESCRIPTION:On these cold winter days what could be better than comfort food\, Italian style? Chad Robertson has concocted a menu that satisfies that need for a warming meal after skiing or any outside winter activity. Rustic\, savory and totally satisfying is how we would sum up this special cooking class\, and Chad will teach you to make every dish… \nMenu to include:\n\nPaniscia – A rustic risotto made with sausage and tomato passata. It typically was made in the autumn/early winter to feed farm hands. It’s a big hug in a bowl.\nCotechino – an Emilian sausage and bean stew. Very hearty\, stick to your ribs and comforting\, and so easy to make.\nGianduja – the real nutella. Made with hazelnuts and hazelnut oil – not fillers like the store-bought stuff.\nMascarpone Pudding – It’s like meringue\, but a pudding texture. One whips together cream\, egg whites\, sugar and mascarpone cheese and can dust chocolate over it or serve with fruit. It’s like eating sugary clouds!\n\nThis demonstration class is limited to 12 people. \nAbout Chad:\nChad Robertson is a Berkshires native\, who after living in New York City for some years moved back to the Berkshires to foster a deeper connection with himself. Being back in the Berkshires has helped him understand the deeper wisdom held in Italian food traditions. Moving in concert with the seasons and eating what is available from the natural world around us speaks to a part of us that knows that we are a part of the world\, not just masters of it. \n \nPowered by Eventbrite\n\nCancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets.

SUMMARY:Great Italian Pasta\, Hands-on! with Chad Robertson
DESCRIPTION:Seemingly complicated dishes are simply organized emotions on a plate\, and when it comes to great Italian food\, the emotion and a delicious result are closely linked. In this hands-on class\, Chad Robertson will share how to feel your way through making a hearty Italian meal for loved ones using the ‘quanto basta’ (as much as necessary) ethos of Italian cooking. Students will learn how to create two delectable homemade pasta dishes without needing a complicated step by step recipe. \nAnolini — a northern Italian ravioli made with beef and cheese stuffing\, traditionally served at Christmastime\, will be one of these dishes. In Chad’s family everyone joins in creating this dish\, making the process both fun and meaningful. Plus\, many hands make light work! \nThen\, Chad will share how to make his amazing lamb ragù using several ‘hacks’ he has found to best showcase lamb so that even non lamb lovers will love this dish. Chad’s system of homemade pasta will be employed in both the ravioli as well as the pappardelle which will be tossed with the ragù. After the class\, students will join together for a festive Italian lunch\, dining on their own handiwork. \nMenu to include:\n\nAnolini in brood (Northern Italian meat ravioli in savory broth)\nLamb ragù with pappardelle and ricotta cheese\n\nThis hands-on class is limited to 10 people. \nAbout Chad:\nChad Robertson is a Berkshires native\, who after living in New York City for some years moved back to the Berkshires to foster a deeper connection with himself.

SUMMARY:Italian Comfort Food\, with Chad Robertson
DESCRIPTION:Chad Robertson will teach an approach to Italian comfort food that runs contrary to the myth that Italian dishes involve long lists of ingredients and complicated steps. There is a subtle sophistication that comes with simplicity\, and the Italians understand this better than almost anyone. In this class\, Chad will share how salt and fat elevate food as he teaches students to make two main courses: One that is sweet\, but not saccharine\, the other that is spicy\, but not loud. \nChad’s delectable Porchetta will have roasted pumpkin wedges with crushed hazelnuts. Then\, Chad’s Italian lamb chops in a vaguely spicy tomato sauce will be prepared on the stovetop. You will want to repeat both of these dishes over and over again at home. Finally\, Chad’s fried pizza is beyond delicious – perfect as an appetizer or a stand-alone snack in midafternoon. \nClass menu to include:\n\nPorchetta with roasted pumpkin and hazelnuts\nLamb chops with somewhat spicy tomato sauce\nFried pizza\n\nThis demonstration class is limited to 12 people. \nAbout Chad:\nChad Robertson is a Berkshires native\, who after living in New York City for some years moved back to the Berkshires to foster a deeper connection with himself. Being back in the Berkshires has helped him understand the deeper wisdom held in Italian food traditions. Moving in concert with the seasons and eating what is available from the natural world around us speaks to a part of us that knows that we are a part of the world\, not just masters of it. Chad’s website\, Elementi Foods\, describes his private chef work and style of cooking. \n \nPowered by Eventbrite\n\nCancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets. Persons who notify us at least seven (7) days in advance that they cannot attend will receive credit and may register for another class of equal value held within the subsequent two months. \nNotes: Cooking class attendees receive 10% discount on kitchenware purchases on class day.
