While international travel to Italy has stopped for the moment our passion for sharing knowledge has not. This is why here at Luxe we have designed this culinary series to bring you closer to real Italian food culture.
Join us live from Rome with Amy and food & wine specialist Marta to learn about this rich culinary world in three sessions designed to be fun hands-on learning experiences where you will walk away having gained new perspective and real insight into what Italy actually is instead of what popular culture perceives it to be.
14TH NOVEMBER 2020: APERITIVO (2 HOURS)
Delve into the popular Italian happy hour: aperitivo. Join us as we share the history of Italian cocktail staples like Aperol for the perfect spritz and its modern variants. Let us show you how to create the perfect cheese and cured meats spread for your next dinner party, learn about the chemistry behind aging prosciutto and how to recognize real Parmigiano Reggiano. We will show you how to make an authentic Aperol Spritz so get ready to channel your inner bartender!
Of course no aperitivo hour would be complete without wine, so let us explain the specifics of prosecco (and other Italian bubbly) as well as how best to pair it.
21ST NOVEMBER 2020: PASTA MAKING (2 HOURS)
Fellini said that ‘life is a combination of magic & pasta’. We couldn’t agree more! Making fresh pasta shouldn’t be a special event. Let us show you how to incorporate making fresh pasta into your weekly meal planning. In an effort to move away from packaged foods and channel your inner Nonna, we will teach you how to make two pasta shapes you’ve never seen or heard of before. Each pasta will need to be accompanied by its own sauce which Marta will teach you how to make from scratch. Get ready to have some fun & get your ‘mani in pasta’ your hands in the dough!
28TH NOVEMBER 2020: DESSERTS (2 HOURS)
Here at Luxe we love our history and we love our sweets. We have been making desserts in Italy since the ancient Romans but how did we do it before the New World & the discovery of sugar cane & its by-products? We’ll take you on a journey through time & taste which involves monks, bees & wine! You will be making two desserts of which one is a cake and the other a biscotti. Heavily rooted in tradition, these desserts will surprise and delight you.
