KIDS & FAMILY | Plate Date: "La Tavola Italiana" Family Cooking Class

Inspired by the flavors of late-summer Italy, this special Plate Date invites families to gather for an interactive afternoon of hands-on cooking, creativity, and connection. Together, families will prepare seasonal bruschetta, hand-roll fresh pici pasta with a hearty Tuscan white bean tomato sauce, and create their own cannoli. Along the way, you and your young chefs will practice traditional Italian cooking techniques and discover how simple, seasonal ingredients can come together to create a memorable meal.
