Calling all Wilderness Union foodies!
At our next monthly Cooking Club meetup, we will be cooking Italian recipes from At My Italian Table: Family Recipes from My Cucina to Yours by Laura Vitale.
From the host of Laura in the Kitchen on YouTube, this cookbook brings the joy of Italian cooking to your kitchen with 100 classic and incredibly delicious Italian family favourites. Decades of Sunday suppers, holiday meals, and get-it-done-fast weeknight dinners have perfected the flavours and techniques that represent the essence of Laura’s Italy.
Hits include: Cacio e Pepe Arancini, Zia Mimma’s Focaccia Barese (mashed potatoes are the key to its fluffy texture), decadent Four-Cheese Baked Ziti, a Sunday supper go-to of Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Herby Lemon Salsa, and a Semolina Cake topped with heaps of limoncello-soaked strawberries.
Whether you’re already a fan of Italian food or curious to learn more, come cook, share, and connect with fellow WU food lovers over a seriously good meal.
This is a no-pressure, beginner-friendly club! There are simple recipes to choose from and easy ingredient swaps if needed.
Please note that this is a member-organized event.
