Join me for a 3 course Pugliese inspired lunch. We will cook and bake 3 meals typical of the Italian region – Puglia. 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 do love the traditional cooking/baking from all the regions of Italy which I will explore in these Italian Regional cooking classes!
In this Puglia cooking class, we will start with Focaccia Barese con Burrata e Olive (from the Bari, Puglia), then we will make the popular pasta shape Orecchiette with a seasonal sauce (I hope to have cime di rapa growing in my garden for a typical Pugliese pasta sauce) , and to finish, we will bake the very popular Lecce treat called Pasticciotti (crema pasticceria with a hint of lemon which is encased with pastry and baked).
This class has some demonstration & is mostly hands-on.

Ricotta is one of the most rewarding products to make at home and tastes like heaven (you will never buy store bought ricotta again)!
In this class, you will learn to make fresh ricotta using a vegetable rennet. We will then use our freshly made ricotta to create three dishes for a delicious lunch; fresh Ricotta for an Antipasto to start, our main course will be Ravioli filled with Ricotta and other seasonal ingredients (we will make fresh pasta for this dish), and to end, a Ricotta Torta (Cake) or Ricotta Crostata (Tart), depending on what seasonal ingredients at the time!
This cooking class is mostly hands-on, with some demonstration.

Join me for a 3 course Sicilian inspired lunch. We will cook and bake 3 meals typical of the Italian region – Sicilia. 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, and everything in-between!
In this regional Italian cooking class of Sicily, we will commence with ‘Bruschetta Caponata’, then we will hand-make fresh ‘Busiate pasta con Pesto Trapanese‘ – so very typically Sicilian! To finish, we will treat ourselves to ‘Sfinci’ – Sicilian Doughnuts!
Join me for a wonderful day of cooking and baking Sicilian style!
This class has some demonstration & is mostly hands-on.
