The Cuisine of Southern Italy

The Cuisine of the South (Abruzzo, Campania and Calabria) 

Many regions cover central and Southern Italy and the culinary landscape is vast.  From Venice to Rome and down to Naples, food is at the center of Italian culture and the tradition of the trattoria, where an afternoon lunch can last well into the early evening hours, is still strong.  In this class, we will create dishes from across central and southern Italy, such as fried quash blossoms, summer mushroom arancini, grilled radicchio with lemon hazelnut dressing, grilled eggplant with mint, ragu alla Napoletana and homemade tiramisu.
