What to expect
What you will learn (and taste!) during our Cooking class is:
- ARANCINO: Famous all over the world, it consists of a ball of rice stuffed with a variety of ingredients (meat, cooked ham, spinach, pistachios, aubergines and more) and then deep fried in the traditional way.
- CAPONATA or PARMIGIANA: Caponata is a mixture of fried vegetables (mostly aubergines), seasoned with tomato sauce, celery, onion, olives, capers, sugar and vinegar. Parmigiana is a Sicilian dish made with fried, sliced eggplant layered with Parmesan cheese and tomato sauce, then baked.
- CANNOLO: the wafer, traditionally moulded around a hot metal bar, is filled with a sweet creamy preparation made with ricotta cheese, candied fruit, crunchy pistachios or dark chocolate chips.
