A Taste of Umbria: Autumn in Italy's Green Heart | Sat Nov 28

Hands on cooking class & 3-course seated meal

About this experience

Tucked between Tuscany, Lazio and Le Marche, Umbria is Italy’s green heart—a land of wooded hills, medieval hill towns and ancient farming traditions. Rooted in the traditions of cucina contadina, Umbrian cooking celebrates the earthy abundance of autumn and winter: prized black truffles, wild mushrooms, lentils, farro, pecorino and the exceptional cured meats of Norcia. In this class, we’ll bring these flavours to the table with wild boar salami, handmade Strengozzi pasta, Veal in Umbrian sauce with typical lentils and black kale and the apples and dried fruit traditional Rocciata Umbra dessert, for a taste of the region’s rustic and deeply comforting culinary traditions.
