“Join me for a 3 course Calabrese inspired lunch. We will cook and bake 3 meals typical of the Italian region – Calabria. 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 – north, south, west, east and everything in-between! But in this class, I have the opportunity to share the food I loved growing up in my Calabrese home!”.

In this regional Italian cooking class of Calabria, we will commence our three course lunch with ‘Antipasti con vedura sott’olio’, then we will hand-make fresh ‘Fusilli pasta con sugo al ragu’ – one of my childhood favourite! And to finish, we will treat ourselves to ‘Cuddruriaddri’ – Calabrese Doughnuts!

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

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