Master Seafood Pasta & Mussels Gratin in a gourmet dinner that will send you on a virtual trip to the Italian coast

Surrounded by water, a trip to Italy would be incomplete without a visit to the coast. Whether you visit the fishing villages of Cinque Terra, the Amalfi Coast, sit canal side in Venice, or enjoy the beaches of Bari - with so much of the country surrounded by the sea - it's no wonder fresh seafood is such a huge part of the country's culture and cuisine. In fact, seafood is so important in many parts of Italy, there are entire days dedicated to eating it. It stands to be mentioned the Roman Catholic tradition of abstaining from meat during certain holidays and eating fish and seafood instead. Was this influenced by its sheer abundance in the country? These Italian seafood traditions have influenced new world traditions with Italian Americans celebrating the Feast of Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. 


But we've gone on a tangent. Seafood in Italy is a must...  And this class should be on every seafood lovers list. Whether you're looking to improve your seafood savvy, think of seafood pasta as the ultimate date-night fare, or are looking to explore your Southern-Italian roots with seafood galore, this cooking class is destined to be one of the most impressive meals you'll have ever made.  


Frutti di Mare or "fruit of the sea" is the star of this class, using a variety of clams, scallop, shrimp and mussels. In your private virtual cooking experience, you alongside your chef video calling you live from Italy, you'll whip up three traditional dishes found along the Italian coastlines. Share stories, get personalized tips, and enjoy lots of laughs.

My husband bought me the Ravioli class for my birthday in September so I thought it would be fun for us to do the class on his birthday today! From the moment Carlotta came on the screen we knew we were in good hands! She was organized, laid back, encouraging and so much fun to cook with. My husband and I took the class seriously because we love to cook and really wanted to learn. Everything came out incredible! So much so that my mother and brother came over after and we tau… See More

We had such a fun and engaging experience making ravioli and tortellini with Chef Carlotta this weekend. She was amazing - instructive, clear, fun and it was a riot to be taking directions in my own kitchen! The recipes were great and the pasta turned out so delicious we wanted to eat it all up at once! We had so many laughs and it was truly a memorable way to spend a Sunday. Delicious! Thanks for such a fun time !!!

Val Raziano

An absolutely wonderful experience! Our daughter gave us a gift certificate for a session with The Chef & The Dish and we chose an Italian Cuisine with Chef Carlotta. She was a delight with the ability to share her expertise and love of cooking while making our time with her informative, so enjoyable and inspiring for my husband and myself. This Was a great gift for us and I recommend The Chef & The Dish to everyone.
