| | NEWS FROM RUSTICO COOKING Spring is here (finally!!), the snow has cleared, and our cravings are turning to lighter, fresher fare: artichokes, asparagus, peas, lots of fresh herbs, simply cooked fish and meat, fresh pastas, and thoughtfully prepared desserts that leave us feeling satisfied but not heavy. In our calendar of spring cooking classes, we are taking inspiration from Italy's amazing bounty of regional cuisines to offer you an array of cooking classes that span from the north to the islands, and everywhere in between. We have classes devoted to the cuisines of Sicily, Naples, Tuscany, Piedmont, Parma, Liguria, Milan, and more. Classes last 3 hours and are hands-on; you'll learn to prepare an entire menu, then enjoy a full meal with wine.

Here's what a client recently said about her daughter's bridal shower cooking party at RUSTICO COOKING: "We had a wonderful time & thoroughly enjoyed working with you from the planning aspect to the event itself. Your organization, clarity & attention to detail left little for us to do other than to create 'the menu together' & enjoy the day. The venue & cooking the meal was a complete surprise for Jennifer and served to create a memorable event for her wedding shower. All the guests loved it and I think many will return to have their own parties. The kitchen and venue were gorgeous, immaculate & spacious, yet it created a very intimate & warm environment for a celebration. Ruth & I were both thrilled that we chose Rustico Cooking to do this event and thank you for your generosity of spirit! Thank you for your work & love of what you do."
