| | NEWS FROM RUSTICO COOKING  | | | | The biggest satisfaction we derive from teaching is to hear from class participants that they've applied their newly acquired skills and knowledge at home. After our last pizza class a few weeks ago, we received several emails from students, some complete with photos, showing us their proudly made pizza dough... so gratifying! The fact is, while we can try to reinvent Italian cooking, making it trendier or "funkier" or whatever catches people's attention nowadays and gets all the press, we'd rather focus on offering you a true taste of Italy, easily reproducible at home, not only delicious, but also representative of the way Italians cook and eat on a daily basis. So to that end, we've posted our calendar all the way though October, and you'll find a wide array of regional classes, technique-driven workshops, and more. And this month, we're featuring the cuisines of Piedmont, Tuscany, and Central Italy in several one time-only, not-to-be-missed classes. Click here for a complete class calendar and keep in touch after class so we know what you've cooked! | | | AUGUST 15 AT 6PM: DINNER IN PIEDMONT Our Piedmontese cooking class explores Piedmontese cooking in all its glory, from its delectable gnocchi all the way to its memorable desserts.
