Fortunately for Thompson patrons, our very own Italian Instructor, Chiara Tosi-Nelson, has years of experience in dishing out 100% Italian food around the globe with all of the flavor, none of the fuss, and usually just half of the required ingredients.

Come to the Center for a fun chat about how adaptability and creativity are the most important ingredients to both an expat and a home cook.

Chiara will share her favorite Italian recipes, adapted to the Upper Valley climate and fresh produce availability. She will recommend which imported ingredients are worth their price and the ones that are better left to languish on the upper shelves.  At the conclusion of her discussion, she will offer a taste of what she preaches with her prepared delectable tastings. Pre-registration is suggested, but walk-ins will be welcome.
