Italian and
Sicilian cookery courses
What we
propose to you is not just to taste but also to learn
to prepare yourselves the best Italian specialities
especially from the Sicilian tradition!
Upon
request, we organise Italian and Sicilian cooking
classes with professional chefs. In each cookery
class you will participate in the preparation of
a full dinner, from antipasti (starters) to
dolci (desserts), with a detailed explanation of
every recipe. Each cooking lesson takes a whole
afternoon and it ends with a full dinner (wine-tasting
included) that participants will share around the
table with the chef.
Here
are a few Italian and Sicilian recipes, very simple and
tasty: to begin with, a sweet-and-sour caponata
salad with aubergines and olives; then, pasta with
pesto sauce, either the classic Genoa pesto or the
stronger Trapani pesto; followed by Palermo style
herrings rolled with pine nuts, raisins and bay leaves;
and finally a juicy and refreshing lemon or almond
granita.
Buon appetito !
At
the beginning of each
session we will inform
you about
eligible dates for cookery lessons and conditions for
registration. For price information please visit
our page about
Dates
