How to Enjoy a Zoom Cooking Class

Have you ever been in a Zoom cooking class? If not, it might be hard to imagine how it works. When I first started teaching Italian cooking over Zoom, I wasn’t sure myself! But I figured it out. You cook in your kitchen. I cook in mine. I demonstrate every step of each recipe. You follow along each step of the way. We have so much fun in these classes!

First I create a menu for us— all authentic Italian recipes (and sometimes other cuisines). I make sure it will take us no more than 2 hours to cook. I send a notice of a date and time to my class announcement list (and post on this website and social media). When you sign on, I send you the ingredient list. At class time, everyone logs in with the Zoom invitation. Suddenly we’re altogether on the screen. Ecco!

We start cooking together and finish cooking together. I go through every step of each recipe in real time.

We’re chopping vegetables and aromatics, sautéing soffritto, meats, and seafood, mixing batter for cakes and cookies, making dough for pasta, pies, and pizza.

We do every step together. And I give you lots of pointers and tips along the way. We cook together. We laugh together. Questions are always welcome. I give special attention for dietary needs and substitutions.

I hope you’ll join me for a Zoom class soon. You can log in from any place in the world! I have one coming up on September 26th…but you can always check my Zoom class tab to see what’s new: Current Zoom Classes

Pasta alla Zozzona + Lemon Ricotta Cake Zoom Class

I’ve been doing  in-person Italian cooking classes in Nashville since 2009 (before that in NYC). When Covid locked us all down I began Zoom Italian Cooking Classes. They were such a hit people asked me to keep going with Zoom, even tho I’ve resumed in-person classes.

And I LOVE doing Zoom classes. We are each in our own kitchens cooking. I lead you thru the recipes step by step, cooking along with you, and demonstrating each task.

 

In the end (in less than 2 hours) you have dinner and we’re off to enjoy our meals with our families, friends, or having a yummy bite by ourselves by the TV.

Friday evening, June 9th, 2023 at 5pm CENTRAL is my next Zoom class. And it will be a doozy! We’re making a classic Roman pasta dish that isn’t as well known as Amatriciana, Carbonara, and Cacio e Pepe…it’s called: Pasta alla Zozzona.

It’s actually a mash-up of Carbonara and Amatriciana (with some sausage added– why not??). It’s so good! A new taste altogether with garlic, pancetta, sausage, eggs, and grated cheese. And a cool technique to learn.

For dessert we’re making a cake fave inspired by the Amalfi Coast: Lemon Ricotta Cake with Limoncello Frosting. So moist, so stellar!

 

And we’re adding a fresh Tomato-Berry-Herb Salad.

Join in! I send you the ingredient list, and let you know which pots/pans you’ll need. Then we all have a blast cooking together. Just $35 per household/computer (invite friends and family, just 1 fee). Contact me to reserve: info@chefpaulette.net

See you in the kitchen!
