Cooking Classes or Private Dinners

Sugarloaf, ME

North Shore area, MA

Looking for a unique and fun evening?

Kathy will create a cooking class for your small private group. Classes can be held at her home in either Sugarloaf, ME or Newburyport, MA - or at your home. Travel is possible as well.

Each class is hands-on, and includes recipes, instruction, all ingredients, and a wonderful dinner for all to enjoy at the end of the evening! Perfect for groups of friends, a family special occasion celebration, or something a little different apres ski! All types of menus are available, with most of Kathy's recipes inspired by her bike and ski tours in Italy.

Example Classes:

Gnocchi: we learn how to make different gnocchi, a specialty of Northeastern Italy. Gnocchi gratin, gnocchi with prosciutto, montasio cheese and poppy seeds, and a gnocchi stuffed with cheese and pan fried. We enjoy this along with a salad and a wonderful dessert

Risotto: Another classic dish of Northeastern Italy, which can be prepared so many different ways! Risotto with Smoked Salmon and Prosecco, and Risotto with Radicchio and Gorgonzola. Rounded out with a salad and dessert.

Private dinners are also available:

Sample menu: Subject to change, based on season. I used locally grown products whenever available, even when in Maine in the midst of winter!

Selection of Antipasti: Kathy's home smoked salmon, cheeses, meats, and a few surprises

Salad: Local greens with radicchio, prosciutto 'chips' and pine nuts

Main Course: Local beef, braised in red wine, served with creamy polenta and roasted local vegetables

Dessert: Ricotta cake with locally made ricotta, with honey roasted pears, almonds, and grappa mascarpone cream
