Tuscan Flavors on the Grill

Hands On | Dinner
Fri 8/26/22    6:30-9:00 p.m.

Class Description: 

We’re stirring up a little grilling fun and kick-starting the weekend as we enter into the old-world charm of Tuscany. Under the tutelage of award-winning grilling pro, Chef Richard McPeake, you’ll learn all about fire-roasting as we cook directly on the hot coals of the grill – searing the grilled meat in the traditional old-world Sicilian style of cooking.

Our menu starts with Grilled Asparagus Wrapped with Prosciutto and drizzled with a light lemon dressing. Then we’ll explore the joy of grilling flavorful vegetables as we learn to make Grilled Fennel with Sambuca and Grapefruit Salad.

Next, we’ll learn to grill directly on the coals as Chef shows you how to make Fire-Roasted Tuscan Skirt Steak. And, if that doesn’t excite you, then how about a lesson on how to “spatchcock” a whole chicken and cook it on the grill. Finally, Chef will prepare a lovely rice side dish and end our Tuscan feast with Zabaglione and fresh seasonal berries for dessert. Simply divine.

Gather a group of friends or treat your special someone to a delicious Friday night culinary experience. You’ll be glad you did.
