Italian Dessert Making and Wine Pairing Class

Discover the sweet side of Italy in this hands-on dessert-making experience, where you'll learn to make two of Italy's most-loved treats from scratch: the original tiramisù and the traditional Sicilian cannolo.You'll start with the tiramisù, learning the proper technique for whipping mascarpone to a light, airy consistency and layering it with espresso-soaked savoiardi biscuits, just as it's done in Italy. Then it's on to the cannoli, where you'll work with a traditional pastry dough, learn how to fry the shells to that signature crisp, and fill them with a rich, sweetened ricotta mixture, finished with your choice of toppings like chocolate chips, candied fruit or chopped pistachio.Throughout, you'll use authentic Italian ingredients and time-honoured techniques passed down through generations, with friendly, hands-on guidance to help you get every step right, even if you've never made an Italian dessert before.Once your creations are ready, take a seat and enjoy the fruits of your labour, paired with a thoughtfully chosen selection of Italian sweet wines to complement each dessert. It's a relaxed, indulgent way to explore Italy's rich dessert traditions, with great food, good wine and even better company. You'll leave with a full belly, new skills in your back pocket, and the know-how to recreate both desserts at home. Read more details
