Join Chef Amy as we discover the incredible versatility of rice in this hands-on cooking class inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Italy. From creamy stovetop classics to crispy golden bites and oven-baked delights, you’ll explore how one humble grain transforms into three distinctly delicious dishes.

We’ll begin with Mushroom & Sausage Risotto, mastering the art of perfectly cooked rice—creamy, al dente, and deeply flavorful. You’ll learn the techniques behind building layers of flavor, selecting the right rice, and achieving that signature silky texture.

Next, we’ll turn leftovers into luxury with Arancini—crispy, golden rice balls filled with savory goodness. You’ll shape, stuff, bread, and fry these irresistible bites, discovering how risotto becomes an entirely new dish with texture and contrast.

Finally, we’ll bake a rustic Rice Frittata, combining rice, eggs, cheese, and seasonal ingredients into a hearty, sliceable dish that’s perfect for brunch, lunch, or entertaining.

Perfect for home cooks who want to elevate everyday ingredients into memorable meals while learning professional tips for flavor balance, texture, and presentation.
