Italian Cookery & Dining Evening

After the fantastic success of our May and June events, we’re excited to announce a brand-new autumn edition of our popular “Italian Cookery & Dining Experience”, hosted by Adele Ursitti and special guest Carmela Sereno Hayes, and sponsored by the leading olive oil company, Filippo Berio.

This cosy evening will celebrate the comforting, rich flavours of the season - think pumpkin infused pasta and more heartwarming Italian dishes inspired by the cucina povera of Southern Italy. Full Menu coming soon.

Carmela and Adele, both originally from the “Molise” region in the South of Italy, share the same passion for cooking authentic homemade Italian food, echoing the “cucina povera” tradition of cooking, a simple and delicious style of cooking which uses seasonal produce where possible.

Come and join our Italian food lovers club!

What’s included:

• Welcome Prosecco and canapés

• A hands-on pasta-making workshop, where you'll learn to make pumpkin-infused gnocchetti and other traditional Southern Italian shapes using semolina dough and simple tools. Carmela and Adele will guide you through every step with warmth and expertise.

• Learn tips, tricks and traditions passed down through generations - plus the best sauces to pair with your handmade pasta

• Sit down to enjoy a four-course homemade Italian feast, cooked with love and packed with seasonal, autumnal flavours

• A detailed recipe card

• A beautifully curated Filippo Berio gift bag filled with Italian ingredients to continue the experience at home

Why you’ll love this evening:

• Reconnect with good food, good people and traditional Italian hospitality

• Learn authentic skills in a relaxed, friendly setting

• Perfect for couples, friends, solo foodies or as a thoughtful gift

• All levels welcome - no experience needed!
