06/23/2023 6:30 – 9:00 pm Weekend Entertaining: Italian Bites (Hands On)

Chef Kelly Sears presents Weekend Entertaining: Italian Bites (Hands On):

As a snack or an appetizer, there’s nothing quite as light, restorative and fun as a sampling of Italian small bites. Beyond crostini, these hearty appetizers can double as a main dish or side dish. Mix and match, serve one or two, or a spread for a whole crowd. Spirits, including Campari and Aperol quench the thirst, while bites quell the hunger; the perfect tag team for an evening that’s strong on fresh and vibrant and highlight the flavors of the Italian kitchen. On the menu: Aperol Spritz, Italian Fizz, Pecorino Romano with Apples and Fig Jam, Prosciutto Wrapped Zucchini with Garlic Oil, Antipasto Panzanella Salad Skewers, Tuscan Meatballs with White Bean, Bacon, Buttered Toast and Tomato Jam, Burrata with Pepperonata, and Basil, and Ricotta with Vanilla Sugar Toasted Pound Cake and Berry Syrup Trifles
