Cookery Masterclass | Springtime Italian with Olivia Cavalli

In the class with Olivia we will work with beautiful seasonal ingredients such as fresh peas, broad beans, artichokes and more. With these ingredients we will make a selection of veg-forward Italian dishes, and then sit down to enjoy them for lunch! 

During the class we will:
– Learn knife skills including how to hold a knife properly and how to slice, chop and dice
– Make the most of seasonal produce and learn about some ingredients you may not have come across before
– Learn classic Italian recipes
– How to prepare and cook artichokes, fresh peas and broad beans
– Learn different cooking techniques

Sample menu (to be confirmed) 

• Farinata with artichokes
• Vignarola (braised spring vegetables)
• Torta Pasqualina (spinach and ricotta pie)
• Ricotta fritters with seasonal fruit compote
  

The class will end by sitting down to lunch together to enjoy everything that has been prepared.

This class is a mixture of hands on and demo by Olivia.

Open to all levels of skills and interests.  This class is suitable for Adults 18 and over.
