Top Chef – Classic Italian Cuisine
Description
Italian cuisine stands out for its simple ingredients, thoughtful technique, and dishes meant to be shared. In this hands on class, young chefs will explore beloved Italian favorites while building essential kitchen skills in a fun, collaborative environment.

Throughout the week, students will prepare a variety of classic recipes, including crispy arancini with marinara dipping sauce, scratch-made pizza and pasta, chicken Milanese, and, for something sweet, a silky panna cotta with roasted peaches.

Each day is designed to be engaging, educational, and inspiring. Campers will practice dough mixing and shaping, dredging techniques, seasoning and tasting, knife safety, and teamwork. Along the way, they’ll learn the fundamentals of Italian cooking and develop lifelong kitchen confidence.

On Friday afternoon, parents are invited to join us for a shared meal and sample everything the kids cooked with heart. Buon appetito!
