Barilla Italian Cooking Weekend

Presented by Barilla, this event features plant and recipe giveaways, family activities, Italian extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar presentations and three daily chef demonstrations with tastings of delicious Barilla pasta recipes, and more. Visitors can learn about Italian herbs, such as flat leaf parsley and basil, at an herb cart and pick up a packet of herb seeds that includes a recipe (while supplies last). Chefs will give cooking demonstrations using fresh Italian ingredients found in the Fruit & Vegetable Garden and kids can learn about "Eating a Rainbow" at the drop-in family programs.
