Snapfish was of no help. However, I just saw this from washingtonpost.com- it lists all the cooking classes in the area and voila!

Hi Jackie: Do you have pictures of the food? I haven't seen a recipe book, but a friend did a beautiful "isn't my family cute" book for the grandparents at snapfish.com-- there we plenty of captions- i'm unsure if there's a text limit, but it was a gorgeous book... UPDATE: Just sent an email to snapfish, will let you know the re. I hope you won't be mad if I copy your great idea!

I just wanted to share the wonderful experience I had at Il Pizzico this past weekend. My 3-year old nephew was in town and the grown-ups wanted to satisfy his cries for "'sagna" as well as their own for really good italian (Jersey natives). I had never been there before, but the Washingtonian listed it as good food and "kid-friendly". Well, the plates and glassware may not have been kid-friendly, but the staff more then made up for it. Since Il Pizzico doesn't serve lasagna- I explained to the host that my nephew would ask for it and just to bring the closest thing. He was served home-ade ribbon like pasta with a bolognase sauce (which was delicous). Shortly after being served the chef came out to make sure my nephew's "lasagna" was good... The host further promised to save my nephew lasagna the next time he came. Needless to say my nephew loved it, and he finished the leftovers for lunch the next day INSTEAD of pizza!! All of the food at Il Pizzico was absolutely delicious but I'd go back again even if it hadn't been! Great pasta, atmosphere, and overall experience!
