No soggy pizzas or calzone, in fact, we have been known to take the calzone cold for picnics – they are delicious and make great lunch box food too!.  Grissini are fabulous on grazing boards, as snacks or for something different with soup, and, well, pizza is just yummm and so easy to make!

On the day, working as a group, we will make up a batch or few of dough, then make classic pizzas, calzone and grissini to be shared by all, as we sit and relax to finish the session.

Sample Menu

Zuppa di Magro Grasso (Thin-Fat Soup)

The food of Tuscany, where simplicity, and frugality, is embraced when it comes to preparing delicious food for family and friends!

‘Tuscan cuisine is seasonal.  Tuscan families would never dream of serving asparagus at Christtmas, because we believe that every vegetable that grows in Tuscany has been kissed by God:  This is why we only eat vegetables when they are in season.’ (Alvaro Maccioni. 1998. Alvaro’s Mamma Toscana)

This seasonal menu is loaded with fresh vegetables, and the occasional hint of pancetta and prosciutto!  The lasagne, just give me a spoon and stand aside!  The cake, now this is a sneaky surprise – so few ingredients, and the taste a little surprising!  The frittata, perfectt for any time of day.  Really, all the dishes selected are just delicious!

Working together with others who attend on the day, you will make prepare a vibrant, delicious feast to share as we sit, relax, eat and chat to finish the session.
