Fire up your love of bright, sun-drenched Mediterranean cooking — this menu is a celebration of Sicily's coastal flavors, where citrus, herbs, and good olive oil do all the heavy lifting. Join Chef Julia LeRoy for a hands-on evening built around the bold, rustic ingredients that define southern Italian cooking, with a menu that's as vibrant on the plate as it is on the palate.
From a silky pesto artichoke spread to a perfectly grilled Sicilian-style chicken, Chef Julia will guide you through every recipe, sharing the techniques and flavor-building tricks you need to bring this coastal Italian feast to your own table.
What's on the Menu:
- Pesto Artichoke Spread with Gluten-Free Flatbread: A rich, herbaceous starter that pairs classic basil pesto with tender artichoke for a spread that's equal parts elegant and easy — served with gluten-free flatbread so everyone at the table can dig in.
- Arugula, Shaved Fennel, Citrus & Parmesan with Lemon & EVOO: Peppery arugula, delicate shaved fennel, and bright citrus come together with shaved Parmesan and a simple lemon and extra virgin olive oil dressing — a refreshing salad that captures the essence of Sicilian simplicity.
- Grilled Sicilian Style Chicken: Chef Julia will teach you how to season, grill, and finish chicken the Sicilian way — bold with herbs, garlic, and citrus, and full of the smoky char that makes this dish a warm-weather favorite.
- Chickpea Fries: A crispy, golden, naturally gluten-free side made from chickpea flour — a Mediterranean bar-snack classic that's endlessly craveable alongside the grilled chicken.
- Pistachio & Olive Oil Cake: A moist, nutty, and subtly fruity dessert that showcases the rich flavor of pistachio and the depth good olive oil brings to baking — an elegant finish to a sun-filled menu.
Whether you're drawn to the coastal flavors of Sicily or looking to expand your Mediterranean cooking repertoire, this class delivers a complete, restaurant-worthy menu you'll want to make again and again at home.
