We will be making gnocchi which are a variety of pasta, made with potatoes. It is a very versatile dish and can be dressed with a rich tomato sauce, white sauce, pesto, etc. If interested please contact me.

During this workshop we will talk about the Italian song contest - Festival di Sanremo and some the singers. We are going to listen to some songs and translate them.  Using songs as a language learning tool has been proven by various linguistic studies as being an efficient method for improving pronunciation, and words memorisation. Moreover, through songs it is possible to understand some of the colloquial expressions as well as some of the current social, political, cultural aspects of the country. Cost £10 per person. If interested please contact me.

We will be making Italian pasta (i.e. ravioli) filled with beef, pork and chicken and serve this delicious pasta with tomato sauce. During the course of the session we will also taste some of the Italian starters (i.e. bruschette) and we will taste our creations with a glass or two of prosecco!  If interested please contact me.
