Join us for an Italian Christmas08 Nov
We are delighted to announce our fabulous new Italian Christmas Cookery course
taking place on Saturday 12 December. If you are looking for something different for your Christmas Day
celebrations this year then come along and join us.
Italian festive food varies from region to region, although there are some common dishes. In the Italian Catholic tradition, Christmas Eve is a day of abstinence from meat so a celebratory banquet frequently features fish – some families even prepare as many as 20 different fish dishes! In Rome and southern Italy, il capitone, a dish made with fried eels is a firm favorite. After dinner, Italians head off for midnight mass.
Lunch, il pranzo, on Christmas Day is the most important of all the Christmas feasts and is a lengthy affair.
The menu we have put together is a mixture of Christmas Eve and Christmas day. It is designed so that you can prepare much of the in advance, so you have time to relax and enjoy Christmas day.
