Simple Italian Cookery Course

Simple Italian Cooking Class

We all love Italian. There is so much diversity in lifestyles & culture. This in turn comes across in the food of Italy, strong & rich in the North to subtle and soft in the South.

Simple cooking but effective

Keith's Simple Italian course will inspire you to take on freah pasta, make amazing anti-pasta, prepare and suff the perfect Sea Bass. Also you will tackle char-grilling the Italian way, with plenty of smoke and fire.

Example dishes include irresitable grilled chicken with chilli salsa, fresh herbs & Almalfi lemon. Then for those with a love of Italian desserts "what about fantastic desserts like Mont Bianco made with pureed chestnuts and sweet meringue & Tuscan chocolate hazelnut cake" Sounds Great!!!

Relaxed and Informal

Here at Smashing Pans we offer relaxed and informal cookery classes, where people are incouraged to dive in and get involved in the food from the start.
This is most apparent with the Italian course, with the making of fresh pasta, and the vigourous stirring of risotto, we love this course and I’m sure you will to!

The point at smashing pans is to create amazing rustic dishes that Italians eat everyday of their lives, food cooked with passion"
