27/08: Gourmet August camp - Italian cuisine

£99.00

Bring the warmth and comfort of an Italian family kitchen into your home with this hands-on cooking workshop for children! Discover the secrets behind two of Italy's most beloved classics — a rich, golden lasagna and a silky, dreamy panna cotta.

This interactive class guides young chefs step-by-step through traditional Italian techniques and timeless flavours, from simmering a slow-cooked ragù and whisking together a velvety béchamel to layering a perfect lasagna and setting a delicate, wobbling panna cotta. Discover the magic of slow cooking, the comfort of bubbling cheese in the oven, and the elegance of a dessert made from just cream, sugar, and a whisper of vanilla — the simple joys that make Italian cooking so beloved.

During the workshop, the children will:

  • Simmer a rich, slow-cooked ragù with tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a hint of garlic

  • Whisk together a velvety béchamel — the white sauce that makes a true Italian lasagna sing

  • Layer and bake their very own bubbling, golden lasagna alla bolognese

  • Make a dreamy vanilla panna cotta, served with a vibrant berry coulis

  • Build real kitchen skills and pick up practical tips to recreate these classics at home

Perfect for budding young cooks, curious eaters, or any child who loves the comfort of a homemade Italian meal. Enjoy a cosy Italian adventure — and take home the delicious dishes you've made!What’s included:

  • Step-by-step guidance from our professional chefs

  • All ingredients and materials provided

  • Techniques for mixing, flavouring, and baking perfectly textured pastries

  • A warm, gourmet experience that builds confidence in the kitchen

Each participant will take home their freshly baked creations to share with family and friends (If they didn’t eat everything during the class…)

Menu:

  • Lasagna

  • Panna cotta
