The Venetian Kitchen: a fresh spring table
In this class, you’ll gather around a spring table inspired by Venice and the countryside. You’ll learn authentic recipes and cooking techniques that celebrate the season’s freshness, all in a convivial and relaxed setting.
- Cicchetti starters: three traditional small bites - a bread‑based one, a fried one, and a marinated one. Perfect to enjoy with your aperitif (aperol spritz or a non‑alcoholic alternative).
- Main course: a vibrant risotto, gnocchi, or pasta dish, chosen according to seasonal produce and market finds.
- Dessert: a classic Venetian sweet treat to accompany your Italian‑style coffee, rounding off the meal with light, fragrant spring flavours.
Sample recipes:
- crostini with fresh peas and stracchino cheese
-fried zucchini blossoms with anchovy or mozzarella
- artichokes alla Veneziana (braised with herbs and white wine)
- lemon and asparagus risotto
- spring gnocchi with garden vegetables, olive oil and parmesan
- tagliolini with clams and wild garlic
- strawberry tiramisù
- zabaione with pan-roasted strawberries
Each recipe is designed to feel like sitting at a Venetian spring table - fresh and light, colourful, and shaped by the abundance of the season.
