Buongiorno Calabria: An Online Italian Cooking Class
Let’s travel to Calabria, Italy with Ahoy NY Virtual Cooking Experiences!
October is here and just like that the chill is in the air, the leaves are changing, and the excitement of Halloween candy is palpable! ‘Tis the season for those of us with a sweet tooth ready to get baking and making treats that will keep our friends and family asking for more!
We had a blast during our first fall virtual class in September! It was such a delight to see what has become our cooking club back together again. We are back this month with a Calabrian desserts class and all are invited.
We continue our virtual travels to the region of Calabria, Italy. This southwestern, point of the boot offers a vast culinary tradition from town to town, with recipe variations happening even from family to family. Calabria is known for its rich agriculture, producing much of Italy’s olives and citrus fruits such as bergamot. It’s also known for the incredibly sweet, light purple onion, the Tropea, as well as red hot chili peppers. No, not the band! The yummy Italian pepper with its rich red color, fruity flavor, and a nice level of heat for those of us that love spicy food.
