LEARN TO MAKE THESE DELICIOUS ITALIAN DISHES!

Join us April through July to learn six new authentic Italian recipes with me and Chicca, as your guide.

Each season, we cook together (virtually) on six Saturdays with Chicca's Cooking Club members from all over the world. Together with my team, we'll broadcast live from Chicca’s farmhouse kitchen in Castagneto Carducci - Bolgheri, on the Tuscan coast.

Each class features a new recipe from Chicca’s Italian heritage. As always, we’ll teach you how to make use of the best seasonal ingredients and simple techniques passed down in my family.
​
Here's what we'll be cooking on Saturdays during the next season, April through July:
• Frittata di Spaghetti: Pan Fried Spaghetti Cake – April 15
• ​Torta Rustica Napoletana: Savory Easter Pie – April 29
​• Gnudi: Spinach and Ricotta Gnocchi – May 13
• ​Caponata: Eggplant Antipasto – June 10
​• Semifreddo al Cioccolato: Frozen Chocolate Mousse – June 24
​• Handmade Pappardelle with Creamy Bell Pepper Sauce – July 15

​Club membership registration will only be open April 1st through the 11th.

​IMPORTANT! Our members also enjoy access to over 60 replay videos of past classes from previous seasons, an exclusive recipe and cooking tips library, and a wonderful online community of happy cooks from around the world.

We'd love for you to join us for the upcoming season!

This is how I feel, sometimes

Sometimes I feel just like these red chairs. In a fog, all cattywhompas. Especially right now when we’ve been cooped up for months with no end in sight. In a conversation with my “read your own damn book club” we were discussing how we were going to deal with the impending winter. We all thought, the past six or so months sort of felt like winter...

“How are you?”

“I’m fine.”

That is such a knee-jerk response to that question. I pretty much absentmindedly give that answer to that question every time, even in these times. But I do have to say that after I respond with “I’m fine,” I almost instantly add, “for these times” or “as well as can be expected.”

Why is my knee-jerk response “I’m fine?” Is it because that’s what’s expected? Or, I don’t want anyone to know that I’m not fine. Or, maybe I am fine. What the heck is fine anyway?
