This is a three session adventure in hands-on cooking.  Not only will participants learn how to make a delicious Italian meal, they will also learn about reading a recipe, measuring, food safety skills, food science, improvisation in making a recipe and cleaning up properly.  They will gain some inspiration and confidence in the kitchen and use tools and equipment that will help them be successful in doing their recipes.  At the end of the third session they will eat the delicious meal they all participated in making.  A small snack will be provided during the first two sessions.  (An adult  is welcome to stay and observe the class or drop off their child.)
