Flavours of Italy

Italian cooking is simple. We specialize in ‘cucina casalinga’ home-style cooking, using the freshest seasonal vegetables, fragrant herbs, generous quantities of extra virgin olive oil and syrupy balsamic vinegar.

In the summer you will make fresh pasta with ricotta and basil with a sweet tomato vinaigrette, in the Autumn, ravioli filled with orange squash and wild mushrooms, in the Spring filled with new potaotes and peas with a sorrel dressing. You will learn how to make sage & rosemary focaccia to eat with our own pesto, calzones filled with caramelised onions, spinach & dolcelatte, the creamiest of risottos and griddled polenta with seasonal grilled vegetables.

For desserts you may make a real tirimisu, individual cherry tarts, grilled fresh figs with mascarpone and chocolate and hazelnut cantuccini.

We will taste as we cook and finish with a late lunch with organic Italian wine.
