Chef Nicco Muratore might be best known as chef de cuisine at Seattle’s famous Mamnoon restaurant, or maybe as a winner on that intense episode of Chopped! He’ll be teaching us Eastern Mediterranean spring classics at his dinner class in May: Flavors of the Levant.

But fun fact: Chef Nicco is passionate about pizza! He’ll be at BARN in June with three engaging and delicious hands-on pizza workshops: NY Style, Sourdough, and Detroit Style. Choose your favorite or (why not?) choose all three!

The Culinary Arts Studio is serving up more exciting new classes in May and June, and they are now open for registration.

Look for Chef Gino Garcia’s exploration of nixtamal, the ancient Mesoamerican method of making masa, a taste of aloha in June with Tracy Matsue Loeffelholz, and two new Korean menus from Kate Lee.

And bakers, you asked for it! Sourdough experts Nadja Peschke and Jessica Sherrow are offering classes designed for folks looking to dive deeper into the intricacies of sourdough bread.
