This is a Summer Italian Lunch cooking class! Join me as we create a 3-course authentic Italian lunch menu using summer produce. We have such a bounty to choose from; peaches, nectarines, berries, tomatoes, capsicums, cucumbers, zucchini, cherries, mangoes, stone fruits (including my favourite apricots) and on and on the list goes. Summer is a favourite season of mine to cook and bake with and I am looking forward to sharing this with you!

There will be home-style cooking and baking involved, with lots of chatting, laughing and learning along the way. We will then sit outside (alfresco style) together to enjoy the fruits of our labour sampling authentic Italian fare with a glass (or two) of vino.

Angela is very excited to be continuing her series of Italian Regional cooking and baking workshops for 2023 to celebrate her Italian heritage!

Join me for a 3 course Napoli inspired lunch. We will cook and bake 3 meals typical of the Italian region – Naples. My love of Italian cooking and baking steams from my southern Italian heritage, where both my parents hailed from the Italian region of Calabria. Whilst, I am very familiar with the Italian cuisine of the south, I have an interest in the traditional cuisine of all Italian regions, which very greatly!

In this regional Italian cooking class of Napoli, we will start with the popular street food known as Pizza Fritta, then we will make our own spaghetti for one of my favourite dishes, Spaghetti alle Vongole, and to finish, we will bake the very popular Napoletana Carnevale torta called Migliaccio (a ricotta & semolina cake).

Join me for a wonderful day of cooking and baking Napoletana style!

This class has some demonstration & is mostly hands-on.
