Tuscan Market Holds Hands on Cooking Class

The “Scuola Culinaria,” - the cooking school at Tuscan Village, the property which houses both Tuscan Kitchen restaurant and the artisanal foodie wonderland of Tuscan Market in Salem, New Hampshire, has just announced its first hands-on cooking class to be held on Tuesday, July 30th, 2013 from 6:00PM – 9:00PM. 

The first demo-based class held at the restaurant in late May sold out over 100 seats in less than 24 hours, and owner and creator of Tuscan Brands Joe Faro is hoping the hands-on classes will be as well received. “The demo class was great, but teaching artisanal techniques is at the core of what Tuscan Market does. We have a virtual army laboring over fresh baked breads and handmade pasta every day. We want to share that with people in an authentic and transparent way. We are extremely passionate about the food we create at the market and we want people to be connected to the food we make for them in a very personal way,” said Faro. 

The class which will be taught by Faro will lead students through the from-scratch creation of one of Tuscan’s most popular pastas, “Roasted Butternut Squash Cappellacci.” Students will create their own pastas as well as complete the plated dishes with a sage brown butter sauce, topped with Parmigiano Reggiano. While students are cooking away, the Chefs at the newly opened Trattoria within Tuscan Market will prepare a multi-course meal for the group to enjoy after the class comprising of not only the fresh cappellacci, but an antipasti course and a secondi course of roasted pork tenderloin. All students will take home all the pasta they make after the class and receive a Tuscan t-shirt.
