Since 1984, Jasper’s cooking classes have been a beloved tradition, bringing the joy of Italian cuisine to Kansas City. These classes offer a unique opportunity to learn about authentic Italian dishes while enjoying a delicious meal in a welcoming atmosphere. This is not a hands-on class, but rather a chance to watch, learn, and indulge in an unforgettable culinary experience. The menu for this class is a true celebration of Italian-American flavors. We begin with Baked Clams Oreganata, a classic dish topped with seasoned breadcrumbs, garlic, and oregano, baked to perfection. Next, enjoy Sunday Salad & Meatballs, inspired by the comforting, family-style dinners of generations past. The main course features Chicken Vesuvius, a Chicago-born favorite with roasted chicken, garlic, white wine, and peas, served alongside Pappardelle con Marinara, wide ribbons of pasta coated in a rich, slow-simmered marinara sauce. To finish, indulge in Spumoni Ice Cream Pie, a nostalgic, sweet ending to this Italian feast. Throughout the class, Jasper will share stories, cooking techniques, and tips that make these dishes truly special. Whether you're a longtime guest or new to our cooking classes, you’ll leave with a greater appreciation for Italian cuisine and recipes to recreate at home. The experience includes a full luncheon, cooking instruction, and printed recipes to take with you.
