Rosa's Traditional Italian Cooking (Bundoora)5.0 (29)

From $195pp

School holiday classes let children make fettuccine, gnocchi or homemade pizza, with the focus firmly on having fun.

Getting Cooking Classes Right

Campania-born Anna Rosa was cooking Italian food by the age of nine, and today she teaches it from home – 36 Ambrose Treacy Dr in Bundoora. Classes at Rosa's Traditional Italian Cooking happen around long steel benches, with lots of talk, a few stories from her Italian childhood and plenty of flour flying.

The class format, step by step:

Numbers – at least 6 and no more than 12, so Anna Rosa can help every cook.
Your hands, your dough – nobody sits back and watches; each guest rolls, cuts and shapes.
Savoury dishes – think fresh pappardelle under a slow ragù, arancini, meatballs over homemade fettuccine, ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach, or a Bolognese lasagne.
Desserts – whole sessions are given over to cannoli, ricotta crostata and amaretti.
Dinner – the cooks sit down together over a glass of wine or a soft drink, and some of the handmade dishes go home with them.

Prices start From $195 per person. Because the menu rotates monthly, a group can watch the calendar for the dish it wants, or ask for one when arranging a private class.

A class booked by friends or relatives gives a milestone birthday a hands-on centrepiece.
Bigger parties get in touch with Anna Rosa so she can arrange a session just for them.
A specific dish can be requested for a private booking.
Sweet finishes on the regular menus include crostoli, amaretti and Italian doughnuts.

Children, allergies and what to expect

In school holidays, children's classes teach pizza, gnocchi or fettuccine.
Flag dietary needs early – Anna Rosa will try to accommodate them.
Guests with gluten or nut allergies should know the kitchen can't be guaranteed free of either.
Leave time to eat: the session wraps up around the table, not at the bench.
