Class Closed
'Winter in Sicily' Cooking Demonstration | Wednesday July 16th | With Rosa Malignaggi

Demonstrating the many and varied gastronomic delights of traditional Mediterranean cuisine with Rosa Malignaggi from Rosa’s Table.

Rosa’s parents Diego and Pina Mirabella were born in Calatafimi, Sicily. They were very generous in sharing their cooking, food traditions and stories with me. The seasonal recipes used in this demonstration have been inspired by some of their favourite family dishes as well as Rosa’s recent culinary tour to Sicily.

Come and be a part of these food experiences and take away with you a piece of history and culture to inspire you and your cooking.
