We’ll start with a vinaigrette, learning how to balance acidity and richness in a perfectly emulsified dressing. Learn to master a Porcini Mushroom Risotto, focusing on proper stirring, timing, and building deep, earthy flavor. For the main course, you’ll prepare Chicken Breasts with Lemon Sauce, a bright, silky pan sauce that turns an everyday ingredient into something special.
