Mangia Molto! Beautiful Italian Cuisine with Chef Richard McPeake

Tonight, it's the ultimate dinner of Italian classics with Chef Richard McPeake – graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, cookbook author and culinary instructor extraordinaire!

Chef Richard is professional and passionate about sharing some of his favorite recipes. He’ll start by showing you how to make homemade Italian noodle dough to create a classic Cannelloni Piedmontese appetizer. 

Then, you'll learn to as you watch Chef prepare a beautiful Grilled Fennel Salad with Sambucca and Fresh Grapefruit. Next, Chef will walk you through the three stages of cooking the perfect Asiago Risotto. From there, he will demonstrate breading and pan-frying techniques as he teaches our outstanding entree, Pork Milanese with Lemon Brown Butter.  

To finish our evening, Chef will show off his culinary skills as he makes Semifreddo, a lovely semi-frozen dessert.  What a menu!  At the end of our class, we’ll raise a glass of wine and toast to our success in the kitchen as we enjoy this scrumptious Italian dinner.
