NEWS FROM RUSTICO COOKING

Our cooking loft in New York City
Summer may officially be over (at least as far as holidays go) but the greenmarkets are still offering a bounty of summer-kissed produce: eggplants, zucchini, corn, tomatoes, beans, and more. This is where we drew the inspiration for our September cooking classes, starting with a Neapolitan pizzeria class on September 6, a menu featuring Italy's best home cooking on September 19, our Pugliese feast on September 20, and more. Click here for our complete class calendar through October, and stay tuned for our November calendar, to be posted shortly!

My colleagues are, this morning, still raving about last night and how much they are looking forward to our doing it again. Your team was fantastic. Elizabeth and Lauren were phenomenal and made us all feel like first class chefs. None of us could believe we actually played a part in such a delicious meal. I have planned a great number of events and this was, by far, the one I have been most thanked for. I can't say enough about this experience. Everything was perfect from start to finish."
