ITALIAN COOKING CLASS

Which dishes did I learn about at the Italian Cooking Class in Dubai

We learnt how to make and then ate the 3 dishes for lunch at the Italian cooking class in Dubai.

Italian Cooking class coffee break

Cantuccini biscuits, both almond and chocolate chip varieties

Oven baked courgette fritters, these would be great with our red pepper dip. 

Asparagus Risotto with some parmesan crisps

There was a coffee break during which time we ate (a lot!) of our cantucinni biscuits, then at the end of the lesson we all sat down at a proper dining table and ate lunch.

Where was my Italian Cooking Class in Dubai held

Cooking at Home runs classes in a variety of locations in Dubai, but I experienced this class at the home of one of the 2 instructors in the JBR area of Dubai Marina. So, it took place in an apartment that made a perfect venue for this type of class. They also run classes at The Pantry Cafe in the Marina and at Carluccios in the Arabian Ranches. But I really liked the feel of the home class. They can take a maximum of 6 people at the home classes, more in the restaurant venues.

Is the Italian Cooking Class in Dubai authentically Italian

Oh yes, without a doubt. Both Maria and Francesca are Italian expats and really know what they’re doing. I’d love to do another class at a later date.

How much does the Italian Cooking Class cost

Each lesson lasts around 2.5 hours including eating time and the cost per person is AED 180. The cost includes a recipe folder with the recipes and the food you eat. We even got to take home some of the biscuits!

Did I make what I learnt at home

YES I DID! And I think that’s a really good test of a cookery class. I made the risotto and the courgette fritters. I did make my vegetable stock in a pressure cooker though, it took a few minutes and I added a little chilli to my courgette mixture.

I haven’t made the biscuits as yet as I know they will disappear too fast!

I was pleasantly surprised with the size and interest of the audience at the Emirates Lit Fest talk for my book: Saudi Arabia - Vision or Mirage. I have no doubt this engagement is down to your excellent radio mention ahead of the event. Thank you Monica
