Slow afternoons with friends and food are what summer is all about. These Italian-inspired recipes are fresh, reliable and designed for stress-free entertaining. This class focuses on light, vibrant dishes that can be made ahead, travel beautifully and taste just as good - if not better - after sitting on the table. You’ll craft a vibrant Farro & Roasted Vegetable Salad and a zesty Basil, Chickpea, Cucumber and Tomato Spoon Salad—dishes built to stay crisp and bright even after the sun goes down. You will also master an Elegant Ricotta Spread and a signature Citrus Olive Oil Cake.
Along the way, Chef Sue will teach practical techniques for balancing flavor, preventing watery salads, and make-ahead prep. This is an approachable, hands-on class for home cooks who want dependable recipes they’ll reach for again - whether hosting at home or bringing a dish to share.
