Participants in this culinary adventure can expect a hands-on exploration of traditional Sardinian recipes, guided by experienced local chefs passionate about preserving and sharing the authentic flavours of their region.Throughout the class, participants may learn how to create iconic Sardinian dish such as “malloreddus,” a type of Sardinian pasta often served with a hearty meat or tomato sauce. The emphasis is often on the use of high-quality, seasonal ingredients, reflecting the island's agricultural abundance and culinary traditions. The atmosphere is typically lively and interactive, fostering a sense of camaraderie among participants as they chop, stir, and taste their way through the recipes. In addition to the cooking techniques, instructors may share insights into the cultural significance of certain dishes and the importance of specific ingredients in Sardinian cuisine.
Once the dishes are prepared, participants gather to enjoy the fruits of their labour, savouring the authentic flavours of Sardinia. This shared meal becomes a celebration of both the culinary skills acquired during the class and the vibrant food culture of the island.
