About this event

Rich flavors, timeless Italian traditions, and food made with love!

Join Chef Wally at The Joyful Gourmet for a warm and welcoming evening celebrating the heart of Italian cooking. Inspired by the simple pleasures of gathering around the table, this menu is all about fresh ingredients, deeply developed flavors, and dishes prepared with care.

Begin with Frittelle di Zucchini , golden, crispy zucchini fritters infused with fresh herbs and garlic, served with a cool, creamy sour cream accompaniment. Then enjoy a beautiful Italian classic, Chicken Saltimbocca , featuring tender chicken layered with savory prosciutto and fragrant sage, finished in a luscious white wine, lemon, and butter sauce. Served alongside delicate orzo and perfectly wilted spinach, it’s a comforting, flavorful meal that feels like something straight from an Italian family kitchen.

Throughout the experience, Chef Wally will share his passion for cooking, favorite techniques, and the little details that turn simple ingredients into something truly memorable.

Come hungry, enjoy great company, and experience the joy of food that’s thoughtfully prepared, generously shared, and always cooked with love.

Demonstration – Chef’s Table Event: Sit back, take notes and learn new skills while your Chef-Instructor walks you through each course giving you lots of tips and tricks along the way.
