Welcome to the second chapter of our culinary journey through Northern Italy and the Dolomites! In this chapter, we will be exploring the world of ravioli all'ampezzana and strudel, two classic dishes that have their roots in the heart of the Italian Alps.
The cuisine of the Dolomites and Northern Italy is rich and diverse, with a focus on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that are both flavourful and satisfying.
The unique landscape of the region, with its mountains, forests, and valleys, has influenced the local cuisine, resulting in dishes that are hearty, nourishing, and full of character.
One of the highlights of this class will be learning how to make spinach, beetroot, and poppy seed ravioli all'ampezzana, known as Casunziei Appezzan, completely from scratch.
This traditional dish hails from the Ampezzo valley in the Dolomites and features small, moon-shaped ravioli filled with a mixture of cheese, spinach, beetroot, poppy seeds and herbs.
In addition to the ravioli, we will also be delving into the world of strudel, another beloved dessert from the region.
Strudel is a pastry that consists of a thin, flaky crust filled with a sweet and spicy apple filling.
Our class will guide you through the process of making the perfect strudel dough and filling, and you will learn all of the tips and tricks for creating a beautiful and delicious dessert.
Come hungry and ready to learn! In addition to learning how to make these delicious dishes, you'll also gain a deeper understanding of the culinary traditions and cultural significance of Northern Italian and Dolomite cuisine. By the end of the class, you'll have the skills and knowledge to recreate these dishes at home and impress your friends and family with your newfound culinary prowess!
This class is Vegetarian.
