What a Wonderful Morning Spent w/ Chef Guiseppe Mazzocchi

From the walk around to do fresh grocery shopping to the preparation, cooking, drinking and some more drinking, we worked our way toward a culinary rarity and utter delight at every stage. Saltimbucco entre to Buccillato with fresh lemon cream sauce. Mouth watering.

Hi I hope you are well. I was hoping to have my wife and daughter (age 13) take a class in the city with you on July 18, 19 or 20. How long are the lessons? As well, do you have a vegetarian menus availble as my daughter is vegetarian. Many thanks! We look forward to seeing you!

Hi Naveen You need to contact them directly about this. Perhaps through their web page. I am not the chef of the cooking class. Just one of the participants. I am sure Giuseppe will do all he can to accommodate you. Cheers
