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.

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.

When her website began to grow in popularity\, readers began asking how to make the bread they’d heard so much about. Alexandra’s mother acquiesced\, and the recipe got shared\, and has since inspired many who had deemed bread-baking an impossibility to give it a try\, and their results have exceeded expectations. It all led to Ali’s recent cookbook\, “Bread Toast Crumb\,” praised by the world’s top-selling baking-book authors including Dorie Greenspan and David Lebovitz. Ali is also a columnist for Food52.com. \n \nPowered by Eventbrite\n\nCancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets.
