Summer’s Bounty – Pizza! Taken in by the vintage soda fountain bar and 100-year-old Petersen oven, Matt DiGesu has lovingly restored this historic pizzeria back to its former glory. The vision will always be, to provide a place for people to gather and enjoy a great Neapolitan Italian meal. His pastas and wood-fired pies are some of the tastiest in Westchester. We start our lesson with the secret to their beautiful beet salad – red and gold beets, arugula, ricotta, pistachio, pickled onion in a red wine vinaigrette. Followed by a discussion on pizza adorned with summertime harvest, watching simple ingredients come together to create a perfect pie. Sample fresh cheese with pickled eggplant (like grandpa used to make). Chef lovingly shares his grandmother’s recipe for lemon ricotta Zeppolis – homemade Italian donuts lightly sugar dusted. Treat yourself to one of their creative cocktails like the Nude and Notorious or Cappelletti Spritz for a fun evening. Don’t miss out on their special smash burgers and wings. Their customers fall in love with the deliciousness and become fast forever friends.
Cost is $25 (+ $25 sampling fee in CASH, payable to instructor). #5586
