Celebrate autumn in Appalachia in a unique way

fall leafKNOXVILLE – Autumn in the Southern Mountains is one of the most beautiful seasons in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Knoxville’s very own gourmet food importing business is offering another set of cooking classes at their kitchen, La Cucina. On October 29th they are offering a cooking class, Autumn in Appalachia, which salutes fall in the homeland.

Featuring a wide range of cuisines and traditions, the classes always focus on efficient professional cooking techniques that will make any cook’s life easier – and more fun!

During the traditional two-hour long technique-oriented class, you will receive samples of all food prepared over the course of the evening. You’ll also receive the printed recipes and surprise tastings of other Avanti Savoia products! Also, due to popular demand, Avanti Savoia is now offering a new series of classes on popular French Techniques. Learn culinary skills that will give you the confidence to whip up truly outstanding meals at home.

The classes are taught by Chef Joseph Lowery with other guest chefs and instructors announced along the way. Chef Joseph is an author, chef, and cooking teacher and has taught cooking classes since 1972 in Canada, Mexico, and the USA. He is currently the Chef Consultant with Avanti Savoia Imports.
