COOKING
CLASSES
La Torretta Bed and Breakfast
On request, (minimum 4 people), we organise Italian cooking classes, introducing the visitor to the simple country cuisine, at some of the local hill top restaurants. With visits to local cheese producers, olive oil mills, bakeries
Guests will learn how to make homemade pasta such as stringozzi, a speciality of Casperia and the surrounding Sabine hills region of Italy, as well as other Italian specialities.

| The Sabina area is less known than Tuscany, making it more genuine and certainly less touristy. Local specialities can be found in the restaurants including the Stringozzi pasta, hand made all in one piece. Porcini mushrooms are found in the woods during the season, and then fettucine ai funghi porcini is a must and, in the mountains, wild boar in red wine sauce! The local cheeses are pecorino and ricotta, fresh organic produce is abundant and the ancient villages still preserve the secrets of handed down recipes. |
