Mario Batali

The chefs of Babbo Ristorante Ed Enoteca are traveling to Tuscany, Italy to join Sandra Lotti and the chefs of Toscana Saporita Cooking School for a one week instructional culinary vacation.
Lessons and menus will be derived from Mario Batali's "Babbo" cookbook. Mario Batali (Molto Mario) will join the class on Friday for lessons and dinner. A profile in The New Yorker described Mario Batali as a “larger than life” character, “arguably the most widely recognized chef in New York.”  His exciting and accessible cuisine, his down-to-earth, informative teaching style and his warm, playful personality have gained him a broad following
among Americans who love Italian food – and do you know anyone who doesn’t love Italian food?
