Summer Cooking Camp: That’s Italian (Day 1)

Today was our first day of our cooking camp, That’s Italian!  This week, kids 8-11 and teens 12-17 will be whipping up Italian delights, including gelato, Panzanella,and Chicken under a brick.  (Due to technical difficulties, i.e. Chef Christine’s camera foibles, you’ll need to wait another day for pics of the morning session, but don’t worry…they’re coming, and those kids look great!)

Summer 2010 Cooking Camps: Celebrity Chef!

Summer cooking camps have started at The Kitchen Studio, and we’d like to share some pics of a few of our favorite junior (8-11) chefs!  Monday, we were influenced by the fabulous Italian cuisine of two of our favorite celeb chefs: Mario Batali & Giada DeLaurentis.  We whipped up some fresh pasta, made our own ricotta cheese to fill some fab ravioli, and even pulled together garlic bread and a quick marinara sauce. :)

Mollie separating the curds from the whey - Miss Muffet indeed!

Catherine prepare her pasta dough, by hand!
