Italian American Classics

The “Italian” favorites so many Americans have come to love are not *exactly* Italian but that’s ok! Chef Alison will still be happy to walk you through favorites such as Fettuccini Alfredo or Chicken Parmesan while also learning a more traditional dish!

What To Expect:

Classes are led by Chef Alison who will perform a live step-by-step cooking demonstration full of helpful tips, tricks, culinary techniques, and terminology. The demonstration is fully interactive with audience questions, participation, and input highly encouraged. There are ample opportunities for participants to have a hands-on experience while performing various tasks or practicing the techniques being shown. While there is a varying degree of involvement in the array of classes offered at Cleaver & Clove, in most cases there is a good amount of standing involved. Participants are encouraged to dress comfortably, to wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes, and to tie back long hair. Seating is also available for those who prefer to sit back and just enjoy the “show”. Expect an evening peppered with humor, good vibes, and making new friends!

Is a Meal Included?

Please note that while samples of the dishes we prepare in class will be served throughout the class this will usually only be a sampling, not a full meal. Participants may wish to eat prior to arriving to class.
