EXPERIENCE:

Jenn has taken cooking classes throughout Italy, learning to make authentic pizza and gelato in Naples, crafting fresh pastas in the homes of local nonnas, and spending a day at the Anna Tasca Lanza school in Sicily, where she focused on seasonal ingredients and traditional Sicilian recipes. The school is located just a town over from where Jenn’s family originates, making the experience especially meaningful.
