Manhasset students in Pre-AP, AP and Level V Italian classes participated in an immersive culinary workshop at The Cooking Lab in Port Washington, bringing Italian language and culture to life beyond the classroom. The experience offered students a unique opportunity to explore Italy’s rich culinary traditions while practicing Italian in an authentic, real-world setting.
Guided largely in Italian, students crafted fresh cavatelli, a traditional Italian pasta, paired with a flavorful sugo made from ripe cherry tomatoes. Following the cooking session, students interviewed The Cooking Lab’s instructor and owner, Michelle Capobianco, entirely in Italian.
