Gelato...fantastico!


The free gelato class taught by Carmelo Turillo, artisan "gelataio" from La Divina Gelateria, was a HUGE success. We expected 20-25 people to attend, and more like 50-60 showed up. Carmelo and his wife Katrina gave a thorough explanation of the intricate process of creating the perfect gelato recipe. With less fat than American ice creams, gelato allows for more creativity with ingredients and flavors. We will be having another class on July 21st, so make sure you sign up early. The class is free, but we ask that you "buy" your seats through our online calendar so we know you are coming!

Chef Corbin is preparing for a much needed vacation to Maine, and we will be closed Sunday through Wednesday for 4th of July celebrations. As much as we would like to invite everyone, the Savvy 4th of July BBQ is being held at an undisclosed location in the name of public safety. I will however say two words...BBQ and spacewalk. 'Nuff said. Have a great fourth!

Savvy in New Orleans Magazine

Check out our mention in this issue of New Orleans magazine. We have actually been spending quite a bit of time beefing up our wedding registry and other offerings for the happy couple. We can do a private class for the bride and her friends, a larger class for out of town visitors, handle the gift registry for cookware, even host the rehearsal dinner. Check out our registry page for more ideas.
