Learn the secrets of old world cooking at Pinetina, where you will be introduced to authentic recipies from Southern Italy.  We personalize our classes, so what you learn to cook will be something you’re sure to like, whether it’s salads, soups, sauces, appetizers, or entrees. 

The Mediterranean Diet is one of the world’s healthiest: authentic dishes from the region emphasize whole grains, vegetables, olive oils, herbs—all of which are the “right” carbs! And, without a doubt, Mediterranean dishes are simply delicious!

We’ll help you prepare for any culinary challenge, whether it’s as simple as making an antipasto plate or hosting a dinner party for persnickety friends.
