A taste of Calabria
Saturday May 9th, 6:30 to 10:00PM
Chef Jeanine Kelly
Picture yourself to the sun-drenched southern coast of Italy in this hands-on class celebrating the bold, rustic flavors of Calabria — a region where chiles grow wild, pasta is rolled by hand, and simple ingredients shine with intensity.
Calabrian cooking is soulful, a little fiery, and deeply rooted in tradition. In this class, we’ll explore the balance of heat, citrus, olive oil, and handmade pasta that defines the cuisine of Italy’s “toe.”
Our menu captures the heart of the region:
- Arugula Salad with Calabrian Chili Oil, Lemon & Parmesan – Bright, peppery, and balanced.
-
Melenzane Ripiene (Stuffed Eggplant) – Tender eggplant filled with savory herbs, cheese, and breadcrumbs.
-
Pizza Calabrese – Thin, crisp, and topped with bold southern flavors.
-
Lagane e Cicciari – Rustic pasta with chickpeas, a beloved peasant dish that proves simplicity can be extraordinary.
-
Fileja with ’Nduja – Hand-rolled pasta tossed with spicy, spreadable pork sausage — a signature ingredient of Calabria.
Lemon Ricotta Cake – Light, fragrant, and the perfect sweet finish. - BYOB
You’ll learn how to shape traditional pasta by hand, work with Calabrian chiles, balance spice with acidity, and build deep flavor from humble ingredients. This is generous, farmhouse-style Italian cooking — vibrant, unfussy, and meant to be shared.
Come ready to roll pasta, embrace a little heat, and experience the spirited flavors of southern Italy.
