Sunday | August 16th | 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Join chef Luis Martin for a relaxed Sunday afternoon inspired by the bars and bacari of northern Italy, where classic spritzes meet a generous spread of antipasti. Throughout the afternoon, you'll learn how to build the perfect spritz while preparing a selection of elegant Italian dishes designed for sharing.
Participants will enjoy and prepare:
• Whipped Ricotta Crostini with Roasted Grapes, Honey and Hazelnut
• Baccalà Mantecato with Grilled Polenta and Parsley Oil
• Saffron and Mozzarella Arancini with Tomato Sauce and Parmesan
• Focaccia with Mortadella, Stracciatella, Pistachio and Pickled Chilli
• Aperol and Orange Panna Cotta with Prosecco Jelly and Pistachio
Alongside the food, we'll explore three iconic Italian spritz styles:
• Aperol Spritz
• Select Spritz
• Campari Spritz
You'll learn the essentials of creating the perfect spritz, including the correct ratios, glassware, ice, garnishes, and how to balance bitterness, sweetness, and dilution. We'll also compare Aperol, Select, and Campari, and discuss how to prepare spritzes for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
On the food side, guests will gain practical skills for recreating Italian aperitivo favourites at home, including crostini, whipped cheeses, salt-cod preparation, arancini, focaccia, and traditional Italian garnishes and pickles.
Includes a Full cookery class, guided spritz tasting, antipasti feast, and dessert.
Perfect for Lovers of Italian food, home entertainers, and anyone looking to master the art of the perfect aperitivo.
Spaces are limited to ensure an intimate, hands-on learning experience. Reserve your spot now and bring the flavours of Mara to your home kitchen!
