Summer in Italy

There is a lot more to Italian cuisine than pizza, pasta and risotto (although we love all of them!). Every region has its own style and favourite ingredients, but the Italian approach to cooking is universal - use the best seasonal ingredients and keep the cooking processes simple.

In this class we will use fresh basic ingredients to create simple flavoursome regional dishes from across the country.

We will make dishes such as:

• Polpettine di Melanzane
• Fava e Chicoria
• Grilled Polenta with Seasonal Ciambotta
• Castelluccio Lentil & Roasted Beetroot Salad
• Chickpeas with Chilli
• Rosemary Foccaccia with Caponata and Rocket and Hazelnut Pesto
• Amaretti Biscuits
• Almond and Peach Tart

The course is a combination of demonstration and hands on participation.

The course ends with a sit down meal around our dining table to enjoy the food made. Please bring a plastic container if you wish to take some of your food home with you. You will leave with a full recipe pack so you can recreate the dishes at home.
