Puglian Cooking Classes with Sophie
Trulli Delicious offers two types of cookery classes, both totally hands on
In person classes - we come to your Puglian holiday home and cook with you
For those poor souls who can’t make it to Puglia, a bespoke online interactive class beamed live into your own home kitchen
In-Person Puglian Cookery Classes
Our two most popular (and fun) classes are Making Pasta, Southern-Style and Puglian Focaccia and Antipasti (see below) but if you’ld like to dive a little deeper, we would be delighted to construct a class specially for you. Maybe a full roster of antipasti, or a shoal of beautiful, fresh fish dishes, or a table of syrup-sweet desserts? Your call….
What Do You Get?
We bring everything to your Puglian holiday/home kitchen - ingredients, special equipment, aprons, recipes, enthusiasm. Give us half an hour to set up and we’re ready to cook with you. Classes last around 2 1/2-3 hours.
How Much?
We charge €260 + the cost of ingredients for up to 4 participants. Add €50 for each additional participant.
To Book:
Drop us a line at info@trullidelicious.com, letting us know when, where and how many cooks will be taking part.
Making Pasta, Southern Style
Southern Italian pasta is simple and complex all at once. Made without eggs, its most famous form is the orecchietta, the little ear, Puglia’s favourite shape. In this class we make orecchiette, to be sure, but also delve into other classic shapes and sizes (cavatelli, minchiareddhri, sagne, gnochetti, fileja). To accompany our pasta, brasciole al sugo, slow braised beef olives in a lake of tomato sauce, or sugo San Giovanni (with cherry tomatoes, capers, olives and chillis).
Puglian Focaccia and Antipasti
In this class we make either the classic Focaccia Barese, with its topping of tomatoes, olives and oregano or the unusual Focaccia al Libro, book focaccia, seasoned liberally with olive oil and oregano. To accompany the finished focaccia, still warm from the oven, we make a couple of antipasti dishes - maybe friggitelli al pomodoro (small fried peppers in garlicky tomato sauce), cardoncelli mushrooms with borlotti beans and fig dressing, marinated anchovies, polpette di pane (bread and cheese fritters) or zucchini alla poverella (courgette with lemon and mint).
Online Interactive Classes
Our private, interactive, online classes are beamed live from our kitchen to your kitchens. Invite friends and family to join in wherever they are in the world! Sophie will lead you all through cooking a feast together. Choose from one of our standard classes (Making Pasta, Southern Style or Puglian Foccacia and Antipasti are firm favourites, but there are more options listed below) or let us create a bespoke menu just for you and your gang.
How does it work?
A week or so before the class we will email you the recipes, shopping lists, equipment lists and essential pre-preparation lists. Accompanying these will be an invitation link to the class. You can access the classes from your laptop, tablet or smart phone. Each class has a maximum of 10 screens joining in, but there is no limit to the number of participants per screen.
The Class itself: Over our 2-hour slot, we’ll cook two or three recipes together, chatting as we go. Sophie will show you what to do and when, checking frequently on how it’s going in every kitchen, answering queries, soothing anxieties. Each recipe will be sufficient for 2-3 people (or more in the Dolce di Natale class). Once the class is over it’s time for you to sit down and eat the gorgeous dishes you’ve created.
How Much?
We charge €300 for up to 6 screens (i.e per kitchen, regardless of the number of people gathered there). Add €50 for each additional screen, up to a maximum of 10 altogether.
To Book:
Drop us a line at info@trullidelicious.com, letting us know when, what and how many screens will be taking part.
