Dreamed of being able to cook authentic Italian cuisine, just-like-a-mama? Come and enjoy an Italian cooking class with Melbourne cooking personality and teacher Pip Kerslake. Learn a range of skills, cook delicious seasonal foods, enjoy your gourmet creations, then take home a range of recipes that will have your family singing Mama Mia, ‘how can I resist you’!

Italian food is popular the world over and not without good reason – it’s hearty, easy to prepare and beautifully suited to either casual or formal dining. Mediterranean food has also been linked to longevity in life expectancy, so it’s not just about the great flavours, it’s also good for you.

The secret to creating the authentic flavours of Italy is using fresh, natural ingredients. In Pip’s Italian cooking classes you learn to make homemade pasta, pasta sauces, soups, biscotti using fresh ingredients – some straight from Pip’s garden and much, much more. Recipes are constantly changing with seasonal availabilities of fresh food, so come prepared to be surprised and delighted.

Class menus constantly change with the seasonal availability of fresh produce and the variety of ways to prepare them. In the classic Italian cooking class Pip shows you how to make mouth-watering Italian dishes such as:

• your own pasta dough from ’scratch’ – to make spaghetti, fettuccine, agnolotti, and ravioli
• interesting pasta sauces, including traditional pasta sauce, to serve with your homemade pasta
• a very tasty pesto and a variation on the traditional gnocchi
• authentic pizza dough for real home made pizza
• traditional Italian salad like:
      Orange & Fennel, Apple, Speck & Asiago Cheese Salad
• desserts such as:
      Tiramasu, Zabaglione, Stuffed Peaches with Amaretto, and many more

Cook up a storm then sit down with a glass of vino and enjoy your Italian meal. Then, as with all great Italian dining experiences, finish off with a smooth coffee and sweet biscotti.
