New York, NY
Cost: $79.00
Event ID #401404
Forget about milk and cookies - Italians like to end their meal with cookies and wine! Join Francine Segan, author of Dolci: Italy’s Sweets, as she introduces you to la dolce vita-the way the dessert course is enjoyed in Italy.
Italians like to linger at the table, both during and after a meal. Dessert is leisurely, and is often served in three parts. First the sweet itself, which is accompanied by a dessert wine or liqueur, then espresso or coffee, and finally a digestive, like grappa or amaro. Dessert wines and little sweet nibbles are brought out as a way to keep guests at the table, to keep conversation going. Unlike here in the States, in Italy coffee or tea are served only after dessert. In fact, it’s considered rude for a restaurant to rush customers by setting down coffee with dessert!
In this fun and informative seminar you’ll discover the wonderful world of Italian dessert wines and after-dinner drinks, including digestivi, as you taste your way through a flight of perfectly paired sweets.
