This Reading Terminal Market demonstration kitchen hosts cooking classes, food demonstrations, cookbook authors and other food-related exhibits and seminars. La Cucina also hosts private parties and corporate events with food-related themes. Be sure to stop into the kitchen late for evening classes and events with owner Anna Maria Florio.
Review
La Cucina is a good idea in theory, but turned out to be more trouble than its worth. The owner is very slow to respond to inquiries, leading one to send multiple emails before receiving a response about signing up for a class After multiple failed attempts at attending a class (including us showing up for a class that had apparently been canceled, but nobody notified us), she offered a reimbursement for our gift card. Nearly two months have gone by, and despite sending her multiple emails, we have yet to receive this promised reimbursement. I would not recommend this to anybody. Posted by Anita: Sep.

Cooking at La Cucina at the Market is sooo much fun! We laughed, we chopped, we tasted, and we ended up learning how to create some pretty fantastic dishes. Anna brings her "big Italian family" to life as she passes along the secrets of generations of cooks. I have been back again and again. Posted by virginia: Aug. August 10th, 2009 at 3:08 PM

Like perfectly paired wine and cheese, Anna Florio gracefully combines learning and fun at La Cucina's cooking classes. With guided hands-on instruction, and real time feedback (you actually get to taste the fruits of your labor!), you are sure to have a deliciously educational culinary experience. I certainly did!
