The Gift of Cooking

Rustico Gift Certificates: Give the food lover in your life the ultimate gift: a gift certificate for a hands-on cooking class or a wine tasting in New York City. Recipients can redeem certificates for any cooking class (or wine tasting) on the calendar so they have total freedom! We will email you a copy so that you can give it right away... 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

July 18: Perfect Pizza!

If you've ever wanted to bake crisp, thin-crust pizzas, this hands-on class is for you: I'll take you through the essential techniques of kneading, rolling, topping, and baking pizza dough and demystify the process of working with yeast. We'll bake Italy's most famous pizzas, starting with the classic tomato- and Mozzarella-topped Pizza Margherita, then set our imaginations free and combine various toppings for a true pizza-lover's fantasy. We'll even make a sweet pizza with chocolate and apricots... delicious with a glass of sweet wine at meal's end! Reserve here before class sells out!

Book a private cooking party! The cost is just $125 per person plus gratuity, inclusive of wine, a four-course meal, and hands-on cooking!
