Two Summer Escapes at Weekend Kitchen: Italy & New England
This July, escape to two unforgettable summer tables — one inspired by the sun-drenched gardens of Italy, the other by the salty breeze of the New England coast.
From rustic Tuscan-inspired dishes bursting with peak-season produce to nostalgic seaside classics straight from the clam shack, these hands-on cooking classes celebrate everything we love about summer cooking: vibrant flavors, relaxed entertaining, and meals meant to be shared.
Bounty of Italian Summer: Rustic Elegance from the Garden
Saturday, July 11 | 6:30–10:00 PM | Cost $95
with Maria Nuzzolillo
Fresh from Italy, Maria returns to Weekend Kitchen with a beautiful menu inspired by the traditions of cucina povera — where simple ingredients become extraordinary through thoughtful technique and the magic of the season. Expect heirloom tomatoes, fragrant basil, silky olive oil, rustic crostatas, and elegant vegetable-forward dishes that feel both refined and deeply comforting. Naturally vegan and absolutely delicious.
