Italian Cooking Lesson: Chicken Breast Involtini

Livestreamed from Italy on March 19, 2020 at the very beginning of the Covid lockdowns. Culture Discovery Vacations hosts Italian cooking, culinary and wine tours throughout Italy and Portugal, and all of our vacations feature live hands-on cooking classes. Since we could not be with wonderful guests in person, Carla, the chef-instructor from our main location in Italy began live streaming cooking classes while the world was locked down... for free... just to be together in harmony.
