Summer Classes
with Jim and Franco!
Cafe Capriccio's Jim and Franco Rua will offer 5 summer cooking classes in the Chef's Table featuring classic recipes from their forthcoming book:
Mediterranean Cooking Classes with Jim Rua & Franco Rua. Each class will demonstrate fast and easy techniques that home cooks can use every day to prepare delicious Mediterranean style meals. Classes will be informal, intimate, and allow for some hands-on participation, although Jim and Franco will do the cooking.  Participants will enjoy abundant food and wine, and will also receive recipes for all 5 classes. 
 
Classes will be limited to 12 participants and will begin at 6:30 PM and conclude not later than 9:00 PM. The cost will be $70 per person plus tax and tip.  Wine is included.  We will also enjoy a light dessert although dessert preparation will not be featured in this course.  Join Jim and Franco at the stove this summer and cultivate your inner Italian!
