SAVE THE DATE! Kid's Camp August 2012

The Tuscon Chef
Spring 2012

Cari Amici,

Spring is in full bloom and although some evenings still threaten us with frost; rosemary, sage, oregano, chives, Italian parsley and marjoram are thriving in our herb garden. The lemon tree is coming alive and we have buds on our fig tree! We have already had a class where we dined al fresco on the patio!

Our first pizza class in the Tuscan oven on May 9th is sold out; there are a few spots left in the Friday, June 8th class, so sign up soon! Check out our other June classes: On June 1st, a fabulous grilling menu that would be great for Father’s Day; A Taste of Italy, a dinner party menu from Piemonte on June 6th and to celebrate the first evening of the summer, June 20th – an antipasto feast on the patio with outstanding but affordable wines to complement the food.

A yearly tradition of our summer classes is our deep-fried zucchini blossoms. Check the July list of classes to sign up for these seasonal delights! Summer pasta sauces, soups and salads will also be featured in the July classes.

August brings a plethora of tomato and eggplant so look for recipes that showcase the wonderful fruits and vegetables found in my husband’s garden.

Those of you who have budding chefs, ages 11 – 16 will be interested in our annual Kids Cook Italian Camp, August 20 – 24, right before the start of the new school year. Kids love this cooking experience and there are just four spots left, so sign up soon!

Vicki, Balbina and I wish you a happy spring and hope that you’ll come and cook with us soon!

Andiamo nella Cucina!
Buona Cucina,

Sally Maraventano
