Hi
I’d like to sign up for tomorrow evening’s cooking class, if it’s not too crowded already.
Do I pay the class fee at the Underground?
Please confirm.
thanks.
Grace,
Yes, you pay at the class. There’s still room for tomorrow. Call the reservation number (917 250-7135). See you tomorrow.

Hi Erica,
Camille Gargiso and I want to come to your class tomorrow (Sept 29).

Otherwise, see you tomorrow night.

There is room, I think. Call the reservation number and speak with Katy. I’m gonna email Camille because I think she’ll be pleased by a menu change.
Ciao,
Erica
Hi Erica, Love your site, found you in Edible Manhattan. Do you ever host an afternoon class. My husband and I have taken to the city every Wednesday (we are true Long Island people and want to expand our horizons) and we are always looking for something new. Please let me know.
Thanks, Laura
Hi Laura,
At the moment I don’t have plans for any afternoon classes, but if that changes I’ll send you an email.
So glad you like my blog.
Ciao,
Erica
Hi Erica and Katy…
I just want to sing the praises of your class and ask you for the biscotti recipe…
Thank you!
Cindy

Merry Christmas to you.
I don’t know exactly when classes will begin again. We’re looking for a new space. But please check in on my home page. I’ll post all new class information there.

Erica,
My name is Eric Herndon. I have a question for you. I am looking to go to Culinary School in Menfi, Sicily. Is there any way that I could get some information about the school?
Thank you,
Eric Herndon
Hey Eric,
The Ravida family, makers of the beautiful Ravida olive oil, do give classes at their estate in Menfi, but these are occasional classes, not a full culinary school experience. They are taught by Natalia Ravida, her aunt, and sometimes her mother or guest teachers. I’m not sure if they’re offered all year round. Here’s Natalia’s email. You can contain her directly.( nat.ravida@virgilio.it ) to
find out what they’re offering now.
There is a more structured school I know about in Cantania called Cucina del Sole. There website is cucinadelsole.it. These classes are taught by Eleonora Consoli and I have heard very good things about them.
If I come across anything else, I’ll let you know.
Ciao,
Erica
