The Farmhouse Cooking School $255 Voucher, TAS(from Gifts Australia) Environmental sustainability is becoming increasingly important to many of us. Through our The Farmhouse Cooking School $255 Voucher, participants can actively contribute to sustainable practices, creating incredible dishes from locally grown food, making authentic home-style fare set in one of Tasmania’s most beautiful spots; on a farm in the hills of gorgeous Wattle Grove – a stunning drive from Hobart through the Huon Valley. Perfect for those of any level of home-chef experience, the classes available from the Farmhouse Cooking School will teach students a range of different age-old recipes and techniques, all from the Puglia region of Southern Italy. Passionate about locally grown produce, sharing traditional cooking secrets, and showcasing what this stunning part of the world has to offer, their enthusiastic chef and teacher, Giuliana will guide them through. Each class is designed to be an intimate and engaging lesson, with only a maximum of 6 students in each to ensure everyone gets the learning experience they require. Set in a bright and open homely kitchen, there are 9 delicious classes to select from, all starting at 9 in the morning, and finishing around 1:30pm (but can sometimes run a little longer!). There will be a short break throughout the morning, and after all of the preparing, cooking and plating is done, all students are invited to join the class, Giuliana, and her team for a lunch of their creation afterwards – running from 1:30pm to around 3:30pm – all included in their experience voucher. The 9 classes are varied but all equally as fun and informative as each other – channelling different aspects of Southern Italian cuisine. Learn the art to perfect pasta with the Pasta Masterclass; or go one step further to the Ancora Pasta (more pasta) Materclass – an extension from the Pasta Masterclass; create incredible Italian doughy delights with the Pane, Pizza, Focaccia Masterclass; get a fix of carne with the Meat Lovers Masterclass; satisfy that sweet tooth by heading along to the Dessert Masterclass; master the toppings to go with that homemade pasta with the Perfect Pasta Sauce Dishes; indulge in one of our favourites, lasagne, with the Le Lasagne Masterclass; create Mediterranean delights that will surpass any platter with the Al Fresco Food Masterclass; or learn the tricks to celebratory food, Italian style with the La Festa Italiana (the Italian feast) Masterclass. When it comes time to feast on their delights, students will come together to enjoy their efforts and offered a glass of local Tasmanian wine – in true Italian style! Perfect for those wanting the Italian experience without ever leaving the Apple Isle.
