Chef Paul, a former student of Wolfgang Puck, leads two-hour classes in which students learn to handcraft their own dough for linguine, fettuccine, spaghetti, and gnocchi. As their noodles cook to perfect al dente consistency, they’ll also make three types of traditional sauces: a simple tomato marinara, three-minute creamy alfredo, and mushroom marsala that incorporates just the right amount of wine. Participants finish the session by feasting on the pastas they’ve made and will also be able to bring leftovers home to refrigerate or freeze. See the schedule of upcoming classes here.

Cooking Skills Academy

Cooking Skills Academy's four resident chefs oversee hands-on cooking classes in a custom-designed gourmet kitchen. During the Quick and Easy, One Pot Wonders class, students learn to prepare four healthy, flavorful meals in 20–30 minutes each and hone an arsenal of cooking techniques more efficient than trying to convince raw asparagus to walk across hot coals. In the It's All About the Stove Top course, chefs-to-be practice culinary arts such as braising, knife handling, sautéing, and caramelizing to craft a menu of applejack pork, southwestern rice, and lemon-blueberry bread pudding. Like sculptors constructing busts of Martin Luther from limburger cheese, amateur food artists can snack on their masterpieces as they go, and take home a copy of each recipe used in the session. Check Cooking Skills Academy’s online calendar for a full list of class times and dates for such sessions as hands-on pasta making, Knife Skills 101, and Date Night Sushi 101.
