Valdese, Old Fort offer classes to flex your creative muscles

COOKING CLASS

You don’t have to take a 12-hour flight to experience the tastes of Italy.

The Waldensian Heritage Foundation is hosting a cooking class at the Le Phare Des Alpes Clubhouse on Thursday, Nov. 6.

Chef Simona will lead attendees through step-by-step instructions to prepare an authentic Italian specialty: Ravioli Del Plin. This dish is a traditional Italian Piedmont pasta dish known for its small, hand-pinched parcels filled with roasted meat.

You will, of course, enjoy what you make. Space is limited, so call 828-874-1111 to reserve your spot. You can also email assistant@waldensianheritagemuseum.com.
