If you have ever been intimidated by making risotto, this is the class for you! Risotto is a creamy, dreamy Northern Italian rice dish made by slowly cooking short-grain rice in broth until it releases its starch, creating a creamy, velvety texture. The process involves toasting the rice, adding wine, and gradually adding hot stock while stirring regularly to achieve a luscious, porridge-like consistency known as all'onda (In Italian cuisine, particularly when making risotto, all'onda [meaning "at the wave”]) describes the ideal consistency.
We’ll divide into two teams and each will create a risotto, to be judged and tasted by everyone in the class. Half of the class will prepare a seafood risotto with shrimp and mussels. The other half will create a chicken and mushroom risotto. Cucinare e mangiare! (Let the competition begin!)
Wines by the glass will be available for purchase while you cook and eat. A special discount will be available for anyone who purchases our products on this special evening. If this class is sold out, call the store at 618-726-2230 to join the waiting list. All tickets for classes and events are final. No refunds or exchanges are available.
