How about a Little Italian for Lunch?
Tomorrow at the new East Bay Culinary Center, Chef Giovanni Gaudio and his wife Sheri will be teaching a class on Italian food. Chef Gaudio is the grandson of winemakers and cooks from Piemonte and Toscano. He and his wife lead food and wine tours of Italy and, more locally, Northern California. They live in the Fairplay wine region near Placerville. You can learn more about their classes and tours at their Web site.
But in the meantime, the mouth-watering menu will be:
- Bagna Cauda: Raw Vegetables & Grissini with Warm Anchovy-Garlic Sauce
- Sformato di Finnochi: a Savory Fennel Flan
- Tajarin with Gorgonzola: Handmade Pasta made Piemontese-Style
- Vitello Tonnato: a Traditional Dish of Veal and Tuna
The class is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow, October 5, at East Bay Culinary Center. But even if you can't come for the whole time, take some time for a delcious lunch. Who doesn't like a little Italian for a satisfying meal?
