Italian food is heavily influenced by the cuisine of other countries; French in Piedmont; Austrian in Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto; Yugoslav in Venezia Giulia; and Spanish in the south.
This course is based on our recent travels to Tuscany, Umbria, and Le Marche. Join us to learn how to prepare and cook a variety of Italian dishes from this central region. As well as working with fresh, seasonal ingredients, you will learn how to make your own fresh egg pasta and a variety of classic Italian dishes.
The dishes we cook will follow the structure of an Italian menu - Antipasti, Primi Piatti (first course), Secondi Piatti (second course), Contorni (accompaniments), and Dolce (dessert).
While the day’s menu may change with the seasons and availability of ingredients, you can expect to make dishes such as:
At lunch, we’ll stop to eat what we have made in the morning and share a glass of wine while we chat with our fellow foodies on the course. There may be leftovers to take home, so please bring Storage containers.

Rutland Cookery School offers full day workshops only. There are a maximum of nine people on any course which enables individual attention to be given when needed. All ingredients, aprons and equipment are supplied and at the end of the day you will be sent an email containing all the day’s recipes. Students work individually at their own, fully equipped workstation. Everyone cooks the same dishes, working at the same pace with each stage clearly demonstrated and explained. The emphasis of the workshop is not on slavishly following a recipe but on developing your own personal taste, judgement and techniques.
Whether you are an amateur or a keen cook your confidence and skill levels will be increased by attending one of these courses.
