Join us for our Taste of Sicily workshop, where we’ll bring the Sicilian ‘fresh and local’ philosophy to life using the best of seasonal produce. We’ll show you how to adapt classic island recipes to work perfectly with the ingredients available locally.
Sicilian cuisine is a vibrant fusion of Mediterranean flavours rooted in Italian and North African heritage and enriched by a long history of Spanish, Arab and Greek influences. The island enjoys a year-round growing season using fresh, local ingredients to create delicious dishes.
In this workshop we’ll make –
Pasta alla Norma – a classic rich aubergine, tomato and basil sauce served with rigatoni
Zucchine alla Scapece – slices of golden fried courgette marinated in a fresh herby dressing
Paste di mandorla – Sicilian almond cookies, delicious served with whipped ricotta and fresh berries
We’ll also demonstrate and taste pesto alla Trapanese made with the tomatoes and almonds that are local to Sicily.
Our workshops are fun and informal, our tutor will support you to prepare the recipes.
All recipes are suitable for vegetarians. Please let us know about any dietary requirements when booking. Wheat and dairy will be used in the workshop.
