Your experience

    Join me for an authentic experience discovering Calabrian cuisine! In this cooking class, we will prepare together "pane cunzato," a traditional dish of the poor cuisine that farmers used to take with them to the fields. You will learn how to stuff a loaf of homemade bread with the typical flavors of Calabria: pecorino cheese, soppressata, crushed olives, and pickles in oil such as eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes and giardiniera, or simply with oil, oregano, chili pepper and salt. We also prepare the irresistible friselle, the biscuit bread topped with fresh cherry tomatoes, onion, olives, oregano, oil, salt and vinegar. We will customize both dishes to your taste. Everything will be accompanied by a welcome drink, local wine and typical Calabrian sweets!

    My wife and I had the best time and got more out of the day then just learning how to make pasta and tiramisu. Antonella and her family were amazing. The best part is my wife’s family is from Calabria and Antonella explained a lot of what we were cooking and the history behind it. If I’m in that area again with friends or family I will definitely be taking this class again

    I could not have asked for a better host, Antonella was AMAZING!!! She was so warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable about all things cooking. I had such a beautiful afternoon/ evening with her. It truly was a highlight of my trip.

    Our time spent with Antonella and her family was priceless to us siblings. It was our first time to our heritage roots. To eat and watch her make our local regional food and receive and education in the process was worth it all. We highly recommend this experience if you are going to Reggio Calabria.

    Antonella
    Cesarina from 2018Location: Reggio Calabria    Languages: English and Italian
    In the heart of the Mediterranean, in the deep south of Italy, lies a corner of light, sea, and poetry. We are in Reggio Calabria, where its waterfront is one of the most scenic and beautiful promenades in our peninsula, offering the scent of the sea, views of the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Etna, and the evening sunset over the strait. Just steps from the historic center, we meet Antonella. Our Cesarina welcomes us into her cozy home with a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea. During her cooking classes, Antonella shares typical Calabrian recipes: from pasta rigorously handmade, like "maccheroni al ferretto," bursting with the colors and flavors of the land and sea, to cured meats accompanied by typical preserves of vegetables, eggplants, and other vegetables preserved in oil, and sun-dried tomatoes, ending with traditional desserts.
