Anna Maria Florio's culinary demo kitchen, La Cucina at the Market, grand-opens today (3/18) at 5:30 p.m. on the Arch Street side of Reading Terminal Market behind Amy’s Place and near the Pennsylvania General Store.
Light food and beverages will be available.
It's a 20-foot-by-20-foot kitchen stocked with donated equipment: AIRS Appliances kicked in Electrolux ICON Professional Series appliances. Du Pont provided a Corian countertop that was installed by Philly's Unique Designs. Continental Tile Importers did the backsplash. Ikea gave furniture and cabinets.
Open since late February, La Cucina will host cooking classes, culinary demo and exhibitions in addition to special events and private parties, as well as offer classes through Temple University Center City.
