Internationally and renowned Iron Chef Roberto Donna invites you to his home to enjoy a fabulous opportunity to cook with him, hands on, in his kitchen. Class will be held in his private residence in McLean, Virginia and includes apron, recipes, a 5-Course lunch and excellent wine. You'll learn the techniques for making fabulous Italian regional dishes from a master chef. Roberto will teach you all about Italy's great variety of flavors and tastes while utilizing fresh ingredients available at our local farmer and Italian markets. Enjoy a 5-course luncheon after the class paired with wines from Roberto's private cellar. This class will focus on the cuisine of Florence and Venice.
Born in the Piedmont region of Italy, Roberto Donna arrived in Washington, DC at the age of 19 with almost a lifetime of cooking school education from his native Torino and throughout Europe. In 1984, he opened the highly acclaimed Galileo. The addition of his Laboratorio and Osteria had made Chef Donna's restaurant a destination for those seeking the finest in Italian cuisine. Wine Spectator called Galileo one of the "10 Best Italian Restaurants in America," and continuously honored Chef Donna with its Grand Award of Excellence for Galileo's comprehensive wine selection. Among the many accolades bestowed upon Chef Donna, one of the most notable came in 1996 when Galileo was named one of the twenty finest Italian restaurants in the world by the President of Italy. Roberto will be resurrecting Galileo in a new location in late 2009. In the meantime, enjoy cooking with one of America's top chefs right in his home kitchen!
