Cooking workshops
The workshops take place in the bakery area of the kitchen from 11 a.m. to 3.30 p.m., including lunch, which will be a moment of sharing in perfect Italian style.
Ricotta-filled cannoli are iconic Sicilian pastries. All sorts of myths and legends play a part in their story, which date back to the days of Arab rule on the island. Every Monday, Rita reveals the secrets to making these mouth-watering marvels in crispy pastry shells. The fresh ricotta-based filling gets its distinctive smoothness from the sheep milk used to make it.
Sweet ricotta also takes centre stage in cassata al forno, a baked cake resembling a pie that’s not as famous as the traditional cassata but just as exquisite. Rita will teach you how to make it in the traditional way. Finally, the experience wouldn’t be complete without the famous cakes made with almond paste that are always served at Sicilian tables.
Available every Monday from 15 April
