You and a partner will follow Billings Farm’s Chef Emery as you prepare a menu inspired by the cuisine of Italy!

Your feast begins with a plate of Prosciutto and Winter Melon with Basil and Balsamic Drizzle demonstrating that fresh ingredients can still be featured in the “off season.” Learn knife skills and how to balance color and flavor as you create your Shaved Fennel and Pear Salad with a Honey and White Wine Vinaigrette. Get ready to roll your own gnocchi for the delicious main dish: Gnocchi with Tuscan Butter Sauce and Pan-Seared Salmon Fillet. Perfect your filling and enjoy a Classic Cannoli dessert.

Dine on your delicious creations in the historic, restored barn at Billings Farm and feel free to bring a beverage of your choice to pair with your meal.
