It was a great time, and the food was excellent. I hope to make the eggplant parmigiana when I get back to the States!

Really good experience, market tour and then back to cooking. Plenty of dishes to make, eggplant parm, fish steamed in salt covering, 4 different types of pasta and swordfish rollatini. Everything was tasty and the chef’s were great, interacting and hands on. My biggest gripe would be that it was just a little too many people. I would have preferred to pay a little more, since it was a little tight working together.
