Angela is very excited to be continuing her series of Italian Regional cooking and baking workshops for 2022 to celebrate her Italian heritage!

Join me for a 3 course Abruzzese inspired lunch. We will cook and bake 3 meals typical of the southern Italian region – Abruzzi.

“I am extremely excited to be exploring the cooking and baking of all the regions of Italy. Our first destination for 2021 was Puglia! Then we visited Sicily, Sardinia and then my parents home town; Calabria! This was a very special class for me as we cooked and baked from the regional cuisine of my families roots. Now we are making our way across the south of Italy and landing in ABRUZZI; mountainous terrain through the middle and ocean along the east coast! I can not wait to share this class with you! We may not be flying there just yet, however, we can dream and escape to Abruzzi through the art of food at The Village Cooks.”
