At the
Osteria La Gramola..

gramola..which is a nice restaurant where you can try our good things, Cecilia, the wife of the owner Massimo, a friends of mine, will teach to you to prepare our country cooking dishes.
You can partecipate to the
cooking courses of just one day, if this is all the time you can have to learn, or to one of the courses which last a whole week.


First cooking course
In one day you will learn to prepare a whole lunch, and it's better if you do a good work because then you will stay to try the meal you haved cooked! You will cook our traditional dishes...
The pasta (La pastasciutta)
Main course (Il secondo)
Cakes (I chicchi)

Pasta
When I was young la pastasciutta, the pasta, was just for Sunday, more often we use to eat zuppa, soup. You will prepare pasta with its good sauce or one of our traditional soups.

Main course
Here, far from the sea, the important dish, during the meal, must be a meat one. You will learn how to prepare one of our meat dishes and also how to serve it to make a fine figure.

Cakes
We weren't used to eat sweets every day, but when we had them they were very good, both the dessert to eat with the spoon and the dry home-made cakes to eat drinking a little drop of vinsanto.

la gramolaCooking needs time, so to partecipate to one of these courses, you have to go to the restaurant at 10 a.m. and stay there at least 3 hours: the right time to arrive to the lunch time and to try all the good things you have prepared. Massimo has no problem to make the courses also for very few people, without a minimum number.
The Osteria will provide with everything necessary to cook, except enthusiasm and appetite..

For each day of this nice cooking school, including lunch, you have to pay Lire 150.000 (Euro 77,50) per person.
