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.
