Sicily... Deliciously! with Claire Aldous...
Tuesday, 06 March, class begins at 6.30pm
Cost $85.00
Sicily is often thought of as the jewel of the Mediterranean. With its fertile soils, and bountiful oceans, it’s easy to see why historically this island was hotly contested by neighbouring nations.
With a focus on fresh, seasonal produce, enhanced with a few select items from the pantry, Sicilian cuisine combines the fruits of the sea and land in unique and delicious ways.
Learn how you can give ordinary, everyday ingredients a new lease of life with these Sicilian-inspired recipes and ideas, devised by the fabulous Food Editor of Dish magazine, Claire Aldous. Claire has a knack for creating effortless, beautiful, mouth-watering dishes that are achievable at home. This is your chance to learn from one of the nation’s most respected food editors!
