Craving Italy Classes:
Wednesday, September 8, 12:00 p.m. ET: Milanese Aperitivo
At Milan’s popular hangout, Bar Basso, Negroni Sbagliati and Campari spritzes are served in comically large hand-blown Venetian glass goblets alongside snacks that pair perfectly. In this session, Katie will teach you how to mix up both (and tell their eclectic history).
Cocktail tips: Get Katie’s take on how to build the ideal Italian aperitivo bar from the coc.
Wednesday, October 6, 12:00 p.m. ET: Pizza Napoletana at Home in Your Home Oven (or Ooni)
After writing four cookbooks featuring pizza dough (including one dedicated entirely to pizza), Katie discovered that baking a casa is twice as satisfying as going out for a pie—and brings boundless joy to your guests, every time. Whether you have an authentic home oven (or Ooni) or not, you can create delicious, thick-rimmed, Naples-inspired pizza with Katie’s fool-proof recipe. She’ll teach you the techniques of mixing, shaping and baking—and how to add toppings that won’t weigh down your pie.
Wine advice: Katie will recommend Campanian wine pairings from San Francisco’s Biondivino (which can ship to most U.S. states), along with general alternate types of wine for those who wish to shop elsewhere.
Wednesday, November 3, 12:00 p.m. ET: Dueling Pastas - Roman Pasta Classics
Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe are among the many carb-based pillars of Roman cuisine. While Carbonara combines eggs, Pecorino Romano, guanciale (cured pork jowl) and black pepper, Cacio e Pepe is a simple sauce of Pecorino and black pepper. With a few tricks of the trade, it’s quick and easy to pull off these deeply satisfying Roman classics at home. Katie will demystify the techniques and teach you how to make these sublime creamy sauces—without actually using cream!
Wine advice: Katie will suggest central Italian wine pairings from San Francisco’s Biondivino (which can ship to most U.S. states), along with general alternate types of wine for those who wish to shop elsewhere.
Wednesday, December 1, 12:00 p.m. ET: Pasta e Fagioli, A Tuscan Staple
Pasta with beans is one of those dishes that Tuscans have been eating since time immemorial—legumes were the lifeblood of Tuscany for millennia. There is no purer Tuscan dish. You can find it served in the rolling hills of Montalcino as well as the sea air-swept bluffs of the island of Giglio. Indeed, the recipe you will cook comes from that gorgeous isola and was taught to Katie by two eccentric winemakers who love and ferment grapes in a retired windmill above the port.
Wine advice: Katie will suggest a Tuscan wine pairing from San Francisco’s Biondivino (which can ship to most U.S. states). Should you not be able to order these wines, you can shop for similar varieties at your local wine shop.
