What will I study?

During this course, our experienced and much-travelled tutor, John Day, will take you on a gastronomic tour of regional Italian tastes and aromas. Your journey will start with making fresh pasta using a pasta machine and learning how to make tortellini and ravioli. We'll show you how to make antipasti, sauces, and oils and prepare poultry and cured meats. Then, we'll sample some of the sweet treats Italy has to offer by making traditional desserts like Tiramisu and Panna Cotta.
