Join us for an interactive cooking demonstration "Nonna's House", Cooking and Reminiscing with the Italian Grandmothers of Enoteca Maria!

Kelley Cole, founder of Gia's Italian Kitchen, has a fun hour of cooking planned. Join us for an interactive experience "Nonna's House", cooking and reminiscing with the Italian Grandmothers of Enoteca Maria! Discover the heart and soul of Italian tradition with this exquisite collection filled with mouthwatering recipes and vibrant tales from the iconic grandmothers of Enoteca Maria—a one-of-a-kind Italian restaurant where a rotating roster of nonnas take center stage as master chefs. Now a Netflix film! Kelley will talk us through the basics and you will leave with tips, tricks and even a shopping list.  Kelley has a passion for both cooking and family, so she combined the two to share Italian cooking with others. Gia's Italian Kitchen does unique cooking instruction through live courses, private group classes and employee teambuilding events!  

Check out her website for more information: https://giasitaliankitchen.biz/.

Grab a friend and register for this fun event in our culinary kitchen!  Maximum class size is 40.
