Sicily - Recipes from an Italian Island

About this course

The class explores Sicilian cooking through a combination of demonstrations and hands-on tutoring. Participants prepare a selection of dishes including arancine, caponata, pasta alla Norma, vegetable dishes and rotolo di farsumagru, a rolled stuffed beef dish cooked with ragu and peas.
