Complete the gift by adding a Rustico Cooking apron or a copy of Micol's cookbook The Italian Grill... your gift will be remembered long after the class is over!!!

Absolutely delightful is the way I described last night's class to my girlfriend. I had the best time; I think we all did. What a splendid class! What splendid food! Truly, it was the best in my experience. I'll be back for more. Charlie, NYC

My sister and I enjoyed your class immensely. She said it was the best birthday gift I ever gave her! How's that for a beginner of Italian cooking??? Juliet, NYC
