Assisi - Lesson with Chef Letizia

Join chef Letizia in her lovely agriturismo spectacularly located in the hills surrounding Assisi for a wonderful experience. Letizia will teach you Umbrian creations, with Sicilian flair, as her mother is originally from Sicily, using many of their homegrown vegetables. The day will begin with a trip to Santa Maria degli Angeli and a visit of a splendid family-run shop where Letizia will first give an overview of the typical Umbrian products. You will then taste 3 types of olive oil, a selection of cheeses and cured meats from Norcia, locally made sweets and liqueurs like Nocino (walnut), amaro al Tartufo (truffled herbal spirits) and rosolio (rose liqueur). Depending on the season, there will be additional treats such as truffled crostini and/or chocolate. The quality of the foods is very high, all from local food artisans. In addition to the products mentioned above, you will have the opportunity to shop for herbs, wines, balsamic vinegar, and honey at very reasonable prices. Return to the inn for your three-hour hands-on cooking class. Following the class, enjoy your meal with wine from the region. Day begins at approximately 10:00AM with the visit of the artisan shops and will end after lunch, served on the panoramic terrace when weather permits. See Cooking in Assisi for 3-night program.
