Menu
Week 1 : Eggplant Parmigiana - Italian baked eggplant parmesan is comfort food at its best. Layer breaded eggplant slices with mozzarella, parmesan, basil, and tomato sauce, then baked until bubbly.
Week 2 : Homemade Focaccia(a flat leavened oven-baked Italian bread similar in style and texture to pizza; in some places, it is called pizza bianca - "white pizza"). Focaccia can be served as a side dish or as sandwich bread and it can be round, rectangular, or square shaped. You are going to learn how to make this easy recipe at home.
Week 3 : Osso buco with Risotto and Saffron - Osso buco is Italian comfort food at its best, but it is also elegant enough to serve at any gathering. A rich and creamy saffron risotto is the classic accompaniment. A beautiful way to spice up your dinner.
Week 4 : Seasonal Homemade Stuffed Ravioli with Two different Sauces (Fresh homemade stuffed ravioli with seasonal vegetables and meat option. The sauces will be designed according to available produce). You will learn how to make fresh homemade stuffed ravioli.
Week 5 : Tiramisu with Zuppa Inglese - Zuppa Inglese is a great classic of Italian pastry, an evergreen dessert. This Italian trifle is a really famous ancient Italian dessert, made with layers of ladyfingers (or sponge cake) dipped in Alchermes liqueur, pastry cream and chocolate cream. You will learn how to make these two desserts.
Each week bring a tea towel and a container in case there are leftovers.
