“From Wisdom’s Table: Risotto: A Taste of Italy” will be the theme of a cooking demonstration offered by Wisdom House Head Chef Margaret Jacobs. Chef Margaret will demonstrate how to prepare three risotto dishes between 2:00 and 3:30 p.m. at the Wisdom House Retreat and Conference Center at 229 East Litchfield Road in Litchfield on Saturday, June 2.

Participants will be invited to sample all the dishes and present their questions to Chef Jacobs. A vegan option will be discussed, and recipes will also be offered to all program attendees.
