You’ll agree this pasta is worth the extra step when you taste the results. Join Mary Cooney as she guides you through making handmade spinach pasta and two delicious ways for enjoying it. The simplicity of homemade Marinara Sauce and the richness of Lasagna Bolognese with creamy Béchamel Sauce are recipes you’ll want to make over and over. This menu will be complete with an Italian Salad, Gelato, and paired with wine.

This pure dessert bliss is well worth the effort of making from scratch. You’ll learn to make Cannoli Dough, how to roll and fry it to a crispy texture, and fill it with an irresistible Sweet Ricotta Filling. Mary Cooney will teach you how to get the perfect consistency of the cannoli filling, and (when) and how to fill the shells. We’ll also make another Italian favorite, Tiramisù, a creamy dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers surrounded by Italian Pastry Cream with shaved chocolate. This is a great make-ahead stunner.

After attending this weeklong baking camp, you’ll want to shelf that box mix. Students will learn skills and techniques for making incredible homemade desserts from scratch. Each day we’ll delve into new topics such as Italian Ciambella Cake, French Chocolate Mousse, and All-Butter Pie Crust to fill with juicy Apple Filling, to name a few. Mary Cooney is passionate about baking and creating delicious confections for family and friends, and she’ll inspire you to do the same. This week may be the sweetest you’ve ever experienced!

Join Mary Cooney for an international culinary excursion right here in the DLM Culinary Center! Students will venture into the wonderful world of food as we explore the cuisines of Italy, India, Mexico, and France, as well as American southern comfort food. You’ll learn to make a few favorite dishes and add fresh choices for a welcome change to your weekly menus.
