The Italian Kitchen

The Italian Kitchen

A busy day learning to prepare fresh pasta, sauces and a range of exciting Italian dishes. The day is a combination of demonstrations and practical sessions preparing family style seasonal Italian dishes which we sit down to eat with gusto before the session ends.

The session is suitable for individuals as well as family groups and lends itself very well to the vegetarian cook. Type of dish cooked on this course: fresh pasta and sauces, vegetable sformatto, chicken with lemon and olives, chocolate amoretti cake, zabaglione, balsamic roasted strawberries, biscotti.

Flavours of the Med

Mediterranean Cooking has much to offer in terms of health and pleasure. The strong gutsy dishes of the winter mellow and develop in the warmth of the summer months. A combination of demonstration and hands on cookery, this course will familiarise you with the variety of different ingredients, herbs, flavours and styles of cooking from Mediterranean counties. once again the sessions are seasonal allowing you to expereince both winter and summer style dishes such as: Gutsy Ribiolitta and rognons du veau, pissaladier, pine nut and honey tart.
