ENR3073 - Toscana

Course Description

We are happy to introduce Chef Salvo Coppola, a native son of Italy, and a classically trained chef who has worked in Italy, Germany, Austria, France and Monaco. He has lived in Naples, Milan, and Trieste, so he has an excellent knowledge of Italy’s regional cuisines. Furthermore, Chef Salvo worked for 24 years as the personal chef of H.R.H. Princess Caroline of Monaco. Chef Salvo will show you how to create authentic Italian, French and other European dishes that you can translate into your own home. 

Course Outline

Toscana, or Tuscany, is what most Americans think of when they imagine Italy. Rolling hills covered in olive orchards and grapevines, ancient hilltop towns, Renaissance art, and great food. Chef Salvo will start his Tuscan menu with one of the best-known regional dishes, panzanella (a bread and tomato salad). Then he will teach you how to make gnocchi alla Fiorentina (semolina dumplings served with a bechemel sauce). For the secondo, we will make a typical Tuscan grilled chicken dish called pollo alla diavola. And finally, for the contorno, Chef Salvo will show you how to cook a simple but delicious fagioli all’uccelletto (Tuscan white beans in tomato sauce). Simple, healthy, and delightful.
