Review from Anthony K.
Montréal, QC
5/9/2011
The educational arm of Quincaillerie Dante, the revered Little Italy kitchen supply/hunting store, is one of the best places in Montreal to take a cooking class. Helmed by Elena and Stefano Faita, two of the brightest lights and the best personalities in the local food scene, Mezza Luna specializes in Italian cuisine and offers a full range of classes on pasta, sausage, sauces, antipasti, etc. They're also very well-connected, so Mezza Luna also offers classes by such local luminaries as Chloé Gervais Fredette (les Chocolats de Chloé), Philippe De Vienne (Olives et Épices, La Dépense), and Martin Picard (Au Pied de Cochon). Their schedule is extremely popular and classes sell out fast, so don't dawdle. Class sizes are usually around 40. They're highly interactive and they always end with a family-style meal.

Review from Laura D.
1/29/2012
We took the Sausage and Capicollo making class at the Mezzaluna cooking school up in little Italy. The school is located in a small apartment, when we first approached the address, we had to double check it, it just doesn't look like a school is in there, it looks like someone's apartment. After double checking we rang and sure enough, we were at the right spot.
The kitchen is rather small, it's an apartment sized kitchen that has been converted to house many top of the line appliances. There are tables, lined up facing the kitchen for students to sit and observe the processes. This was only a little disappointing to me, as I got to be one of only three students who actually got to have hands-on experience with sausage making. That said, I think the class was very informative and I did learn a lot about, not only the process, but sources for the meat and what equipment was needed to make many of the different sausage recipes given to us successfully.
After the class, a meal is prepared and you get to eat the sausages along with some lovely Italian bread, a few antipasti and a side of ratatouille.
Overall, we had a nice evening and plan to make our first batch of sausages in the coming days!
