Ciao a tutti!
Come discover the cooking of Calabria, a mountainous region flanked by the
Mediterranean at the toe of Italy’s boot where Ulysses traveled in the Odyssey –
the region where food is simple but flavors are immense, where the homegrown
peperoncino adds fire to cooking, and where I was born and raised.
I’d like to share with you the culinary secrets of Calabria and the Southern Italian
regions of Sicily, Basilicata, Puglia and Campania. Savor dishes served among
fishing and farming families there, find out how Calabrians use their ingenuity to
bring out the best in everyday fare, and learn to prepare the dishes in your own
home.
At my Southern Italian cooking classes, team-building events, and private parties,
students get hands-on experience preparing foods the way it has been done for
hundreds of years in Southern Italy. Classes feature seasonal menus using fresh-
picked fruits and vegetables from my organic garden or farmers’ markets. Whether
a simple appetizer, specialty pasta, fresh ricotta, luscious dessert, or preserving of
the summer harvest, the cooking is always fun, and everyone sits down to enjoy the
fruits of their labor!
Check out the upcoming class schedule and see which menus suit your taste.
Sample some of my favorite recipes... and please contact me if you have any
questions or comments you’d like to share.
