Ferragosto Long Lunch at Katoomba
Italian Cooking Classes
$150.00 *
* most cost $150. See website for details
Run with the help of my Italian born mother, our cooking classes give an insight into our southern Italian traditions which focus on food and family. Expect to immerse yourself in how we live – lots of fresh food (including homegrown) prepared in simple quick ways yet so full of flavour, you'll want to come back for more. Classes range from pastas, sauces, vegetables and bread. We can tailor a class to you.
Classes are hands on, so everyone gets to take part. They go for 2 to 4 hours including a sit down meal, depending on what you choose to make. All our meals include a range of our typical foods and cater to both meat and vegetarian diets. Of course, there will be wine. And we’ll be serving dessert because there’s always room for dessert, right!
It’s all about experiencing the Italian laid back way of life, enjoying good food and great company.
Children's Classes also available.
