January Cooking Class

Have a "Romantic Ricotta Rendezvous" with Two Italian Cooks, January 31st from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the Menonite Church 300 E Oak Street in Fort Collins. Learn how to cook an authentic three course Italian meal. The menu starts with an appetizer of ricotta with seasonal fruit, cinnamon, and honey. This will be prepared beforehand and is almost more of a dessert than anything else. Next, we'll have the main meal of homemade ravioli filled with homemade ricotta, topped with a very simple garlic and basil tomato sauce. The sauce will be homemade of course but made from canned tomatoes since it's January. These will all be made from scratch during the cooking class by you, the participant. The third and final course, the Digestivo, will be a fennel salad with orange almonds and arugula. Having a bit of greens and fennel helps take the stuffiness out after a rich heavy meal like that. This will basically also be prepared beforehand so we can just bust it out right after the ravioli. The class is $20 per person. Register and pay at the food Coop. Limited seating available.
