Learn to Cook Italian!!

This location is shown only to members

UPDATE: Our Menu for this class will be:
-Tilapia Florentine (Tilapia cooked with spinach, tomatoes and lemon butter)
-Bruschetta Pomodoro (tomato) and Bruschetta Scampi (Baby shrimp and cannelloni beans)
-Spaghetti Bolognese (Spaghetti in a rich meaty tomato sauce) - pasta twirling lesson included!
-Traditional Tiramisu
-*wine pairings*

We have a fun class planned with this one! Join us at Odeon Cafe in Dupont Circle for a 3-hr class on Italian Cooking. Learn the intricacies in the preparation of fine italian cuisine, and how to cook a world class dish using basic ingredients and simple techniques.

We will have 4 "rounds" of cooking, where each round demonstrates the preparation and cooking of a different dish. At the end of each round, you get to eat the dish you just learned to make! Plus, we will be serving red and white wine to go with each of the dishes. Yes, the ticket price does include an ample supply of wine!

Our chefs/instructors will be owner Jamal Bouzod and his partner Ben. We've done classes with Jamal and Ben before (Odeon Cafe last Feb, and Marakkesh last March with the 20s & 30s Going Out Group) and they are a lot of fun. Check out the member comments from these past events with Jamal and Ben!

Please know this is a DEMONSTRATION cooking class, rather than a "hands-on" class (which is much more expensive). You'll be provided with handouts detailing the preparation of the dishes Jamal will be cooking.

Our menu will be:
-Spaghetti Bolognese (Spaghetti in a rich meaty tomato sauce) - pasta twirling lesson included!
-Tilapia Florentine (Tilapia cooked with spinach, tomatoes and lemon butter)
-Bruschetta Pomodoro (tomato) and Bruschetta Scampi (Baby shrimp and cannelloni beans)
-Traditional Tiramisu
-*wine pairings*

We have a LIMITED number of spots so make sure to RSVP early! See you there!

Oh, and the closest metro stop is Dupont Circle on the Red Line.

    As a suggestion, I think it would be nice if we can have introduced everyone at the very beginning so that we can know each other's names. At the Italian cooking class, I never got to know the others at the other table.

    It was a lot of fun. Of course I wouldn't mind some "How to Cook..." that are also interactive. I know it cost more but I'd be willing to go to those kind of events as well as just the demonstration cooking classes.
