Classes for high school students
Get inspired by the Italians, who love using fresh ingredients and eating a little bit lighter during the warmer spring months. Learn to make some delicious, lighter recipes using some of our local ingredients to enjoy during these beautiful New England spring days. We will make an asparagus salad with pistachio vinaigrette; chicken involtini stuffed with a fresh baby arugula pesto; pasta primavera with peas, baby tomatoes, and basil; and a luscious lemon mascarpone parfait with berries to end the meal.
