Discover Italian
When you take a cooking class with Wally Maria, you will learn how to prepare traditional Italian dishes, were to shop for the ingredients, how to combine courses for a delicious, well balanced, healthy Italian meal.
Wally Maria has an extensive vegetables-fruit-herb garden and grows many of the ingredients she uses in her cooking.
She grew up in the northern Italian region of Veneto and then Friuli where she learned in her grandmother's restaurant, and from her mother and aunts, how to prepare classic Italian dishes. Over the years, Wally Maria has revised her family's traditional cooking and made it her own, displaying her passion for beautiful presentations and delicious taste
Each one of her classes is a complete meal. Students are invited to help in the preparation and cooking process if they desire. They are given a copy of all the recipes prepared in the class and are welcome to bring wine for all to enjoy with the meal, which will be served at the end.
Classes vary in length; in average last 3 hours.
You can read an article about Wally Maria in the March 29, 2007 issue of the
Weaverville Tribune, pg. 12.
