Italian desserts, LIVE Cooking demonstartion and tasting

Italian Desserts, my new demonstration and live cooking session.

This is a ticketed only event.

This is now my third large event and they really are just fabulous. A hall full of ladies and gents, with a glass of wine in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other. My photographer walking about snapping you get messy and there are lots of laughs too. From well run cooks to novice and beginners, everyone is welcome. I get so excited and really look forward to these events because there is nothing I enjoy more than teaching Italian cookery. This time it is all about the desserts and sweets of Italy.

Italian desserts, there is more than just Tiramisu in Italy. So on this evening you will be demonstrated how to make a fresh fruit panna cotta, zabaglione over pan fried peaches and affogato which is ice cream scooped into hot espresso coffee.

Then it's over to you to make my traditional tiramisu after my demo. I provide all the ingredients that you will need. You just need to bring along your favourite apron, whisk, spatula, mixing bowl and another bowl (small trifle bowl) to layer up your tiramisu. This time no drinking the Tia Maria from the bottle please, you know who you are!!

'Carmela's Kitchen' in partnership with 'The Italian Shop'

Tell me, what could be better than tomatoes and mozzarella, parma ham and olives,  amarettto and espresso and  pasta with vino rosso. A perfect combination of two.

So I would like to announce that both Carmela's Kitchen and The Italian Shop are now working in partnership together. A perfect and very delicious partnership. I will now be teaching in the 'Pasta room' most Friday evenings and Mondays. Delicious and full of flavour courses, from handmade pasta, pizza, Italian dolci, sauces, risotto's and so much more.

I have been championing The Italian Shop since it's opening and Adriana who owns and runs the deli has so much passion and has injected it into the very beautiful and welcoming shop in true Italian style. Adriana has a wonderful client base and regulars already, she even has daily regulars (you know who you are!!).
