Owned by Opera Singer Hermann Salerno and his lovely wife Rose. I will be preparing three different Italian dishes for you to sample. Plus, and of course, you will be able to sample award winning wine.

April 5 Cooking with Sun-dried tomatoes. How to make them, buy them and cook with them. This tangy dried tomato is the king of building flavor for red sauces. The concentrated flavors and the chewy texture of this delectable fruit make cooking with it a real pleasure. It’s a can’t fail ingredient. Recipes being taught are Ziti with hot pepper sauce and linguini with shiitaki mushrooms.
