Our proposal?
An interesting cooking class where you can discover and learn the secrets to create our best delicious culinary dishes!
They are simple and rich in taste and are created following our traditions, the holidays calendar and the seasonal cycle.
The cooking class will certainly make your visit to Italy and Umbria unforgettable, you will go back home enriched with a wonderful and peculiar experience, very different from all others.
Don’t you think it is a very attractive idea?
On your return you can show off your cooking knowledge with your friends and family and offer them a delicious dinner with the recipes learned. They will appreciate it much more than looking at the hundreds of pictures always taken during holidays.
Therefore, get ready for cooking yourself and go on reading!
What to prepare:
- Full menu (appetizers, main courses, second courses, side dishes and desserts);
- One or more dishes from the main menu.
When:
- Morning or afternoon, to taste the result of your efforts.
You can choose what you want, there’s the maximum of flexibility!
What about an idea to make the course amusing?
Choose to make hand-made pasta and a dessert!
For the pasta you can choose among:
- Tagliatelle;
- Tagliolini;
- Straccetti;
- Ravioli;
- Lasagne.
How the culinary day goes on:
Expert chefs will come to your location to teach you the best traditional Umbrian recipes.
If you have chosen the pasta, the queen of Italian cuisine, then you will immediately put your … “hands in the dough”:
You will make the dough with flour, eggs and water on the pastry board.
With your hands you will have to mix the ingredients working energetically until you get a homogeneous and smooth dough with perfect consistency (not too soft nor too hard), all under the guidance of your teacher.
Do you want to take a step back in time?
Then they will teach you how to use the rolling pin like housewives used to do in the past!
If you get tired, do not worry: you can continue using the manual machine to make the dough, an operation that is not so easy for those who are beginners.
But it will be certainly worth it!
Now let’s choose the seasoning.
The choice will be among:
- Tomato and basil sauce;
- Vegetables from the garden (courgette flowers, zucchini and cherry tomatoes);
- Sausage;
- Pecorino cheese;
- Porcini mushrooms;
- Truffles.
As soon as the water reaches the boiling point, you will throw the pasta into the pan and then, when cooked, you will season it.
The best way to honour the recipe?
Enjoy it with friends and relatives at the table!
At the end…
You can’t miss the dessert!
The choice:
- Tart with jam or chocolate;
- Tiramisu with mascarpone;
- Tozzetti (Umbrian version of the Cantucci Toscani).
Finally … do you want to immerse yourself completely in the local culture?
Then the lesson will also be given in Italian, so you can learn the words for the gestures and actions used in our Umbrian cuisine.
The icing on the cake to end the day?
The congratulations from your teacher!
