FOOD + FUN + LEARNING
From simple number work (using the scales), to colour & size recognition (which piece is the biggest?), to basic science stuff for slightly older kids (explaining chemical reactions that happen, why does bread rise?), there's so much children can learn in the kitchen. Our cooking workshops aim to pass on our enthusiasm for Italian food whilst giving children plenty of food for thought as regards taste, smell & presentation. You'll be surprised just what your kids can prepare given the right opportunity.

We kicked off our UK cooking workshops in August 2018 and had great fun & success teaching a wonderful group of children at three different venues in the Dorset area. We were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm & creativity of the kids who joined us & the positive response from parents. Here is a selection of some of the dishes we prepared together with kids aged 4 - 12:
-Fresh filled pasta served with a sage butter -‘Polpette’ - meatballs served with a fresh tomato sauce & ‘verdura al forno’ - oven roasted summer vegetables. -Various pizzas & filled focaccias served with two salads: mixed baby tomato & olive salad with a basil oil dressing & a summer vegetable slaw -Fresh gnocchi with a tomato & basil sauce -Fish and meat spiedini served with peas braised with Speck (type of proscuitto) & parsley -Fresh filled cannoli -Roasted peaches filled with crushed amaretti biscuits. |
