Week 3: Italian Classics

$995.00

WEEK 3:  ITALY

Designed to understand and appreciate the nuance, restraint, and technique behind one of the world’s most beloved cuisines.

Italian cooking is often described as simple, rustic, and ingredient-driven—but doing it well requires discipline, precision, and feel. This week teaches students how to look beyond the familiar dishes and understand the details that make them work: proper dough texture, balanced sauces, well-developed stocks and sugos, handmade pasta, careful seasoning, and the right relationship between ingredient, technique, and tradition.

Students explore a range of Italian classics, each a lesson in judgment—how something should feel, taste, smell, reduce, stretch, fold, simmer, or bake.


Dishes You Will Perform:


  • Minestrone

  • Pasta aglio e olio

  • Carbonara

  • Focaccia

  • Bake Focaccia

  • Eat Minestrone

  • Tomato sauce
