Chicago: Cook a Modern Italian Feast (Incl. 3-Course Meal)｜United States

Step into the flavors of a modern Italian table in this hands-on 3-course cooking class in Chicago. Guided by Chef Yani, you’ll learn how to create a full Italian menu from appetizer to dessert while practicing approachable techniques you can use again at home.

Start your 3-course meal by seasoning a creamy whipped ricotta with lemon, milk, rosemary, chile flakes and honey for a bright, savory-sweet appetizer. Then move on to the main course: beef braciole made with flank steak, Provolone, prosciutto and Parmesan cheese. You’ll learn how to layer rich Italian flavors, handle the steak and bring everything together into a comforting, restaurant-worthy dish.

To finish, prepare a classic panna cotta with milk, heavy cream, sugar, gelatin and berries. At the end of class, sit down to enjoy the full 3-course Italian feast you helped create. This 2.5-hour experience is a great fit for couples, solo food lovers and anyone who wants to make Italian cooking feel more elegant, relaxed and doable. Guests are welcome to bring wine or beer to enjoy during the class.
