Pasta and Pinot Package
Fresh pasta, sauces, and wine… you can’t argue with that combination as it has stood the test of time and will always be a fantastic way to spend an evening. This class is an adult only cooking class where you’ll enjoy a couple complimentary glasses of wine, or you can bring your own favorite wine to enjoy as you learn how to hand roll pasta, create ravioli, gnocchi, tortellini, linguini and more. The class will be different based on season, so you can keep coming back! One time make Fettucine Alfredo over Acorn Squash with Seared Sausage and another create Four Cheese Ravioli with Marina and Meatballs and Garlic Bread. In the spring enjoy Asparagus & Snow Peas with Almonds and Poached eggs over Spaghetti. Perhaps the session you come next will be Gnocchi with Pesto served over Bacon Bolognese…the possibilities are endless. This is the perfect class for a group of friends but please make sure that if you are going to be drinking wine, you also have a suitable driver to take you home! We will also be making some traditional sauces and then, enjoying a dinner of it all. Spread the word and let’s have a pasta party! This session can be attended by vegetarian, vegan and carnivorous folks side by side. Chef does need to know in advance what each diet preference is.
Each session includes instructions, complimentary wine, plus the meal. You’ll all be able to sit together and sample your pasta creations and make memories as well! A cooking class AND dinner….perfect fun.
Not all dates available. Check first to see if yours work with our available times and dates. Not available holidays.

Stay and Play-Celebrating 10 Years of our Cooking School
We are celebrating 10 years of our cooking school in 2019! It all started in Whitehall in a tiny kitchen in early 2009 (April). Incorporated in June). Named Bygone Basics for most of the 10 years, the cooking school was moved to a larger house in 2010 and rocked a large kitchen! In early 2019, Chef Valerie felt that the name no longer described the experience. So it was changed to Art of Cookery in March 2019. The renamed cooking school will be moving back to Whitehall in May of 2010 to an even larger kitchen! To celebrate these three wonderful things, we are giving some nice discounts to the first 10 people to snag them. Get 10% off your cooking school experience in April and May 2019. And 19% off classes in June. Finally, receive 9% off in July and August. Mention this discount when registering for your class(es).
Wood Fired Pizza!
You can learn to make and bake a wood fired pizza! Book a two day stay at Art of Cookery via Airbnb, and participate in a private pizza cooking class. You’ll make a 3 topping 14″ homemade wood-fired pizza. Schedule based on availability and weather permitting. If you schedule this and the weather is inclement, your pizza will be cooked on a stone inside the kitchen ovens. No pizza events scheduled from 11/1 – 3/31 due to potential for freezing weather to crack a hot outdoor oven. This cannot be offered for gluten free diets.
