Hosting a dinner party soon or simply looking to add some tasty treats to your recipe repertoire? This online cooking class will tick all your boxes!

During this beginner-friendly virtual class, you will cook along live with a talented chef and learn how to make four antipasti starters.

The Italian "antipasto" is a traditional first course of a formal Italian meal when celebrating a special occasion. It may also be referred to as a starter, or appetiser. It represents the beginning of the meal and is supposed to awaken your taste buds in preparation for the meal ahead. The traditional antipasto often consists of cured meats, different types of bread, grilled or pickled vegetables, creamy cheeses, marinated fish or seafood delicacies.

The variety of ingredients and recipes changes greatly according to each regional cuisine and cultural roots. From the North to the South, each Italian region has its signature "antipasto".

In this online cooking class, your friendly teacher will guide you through a few of the most popular and beloved Italian antipasti made from scratch. You will learn four different recipes, plus tips and secrets to impress your guests.

Make some or all of the following:

  • Tomato bruschetta.
  • Caprese salad.
  • Crescentine bolognesi, also called fried gnocchi.
  • Red peppers au gratin.

If you fancy impressing your partner and your family members or if you are just looking for some fun things to do at home, then this virtual cooking class is a hearty way to fill your day and your belly.

Grab your apron and get ready to cook authentic and unforgettable Italian delicacies!
