In this masterclass, Chef Cristian Lepore will demonstrate how to create a three-course meal featuring dishes from the Southern to Central regions of Italy while discussing key seasonal ingredients that make up the Mediterranean Diet. You will discover the eternal benefits of these Mediterranean ingredients, while learning how to recreate easy and delicious meals at home. You will also taste a sample of the fresh dishes being prepared by Chef Cristian.
This class is a demonstration. Due to the nature of the event, we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions.
Many thanks to the Embassy of Italy for partnering with us on this event.
