 The beautiful Dunowen House in Clonakilty will host an Italian cooking series this Winter with midweek and residential weekend cookery classes

If you dream about being able to rustle up velvety pasta, slow-cooked Italian sauces and delicate Italian desserts at home, then this is the cooking experience for you. 

The team from Burlamacchi Villa in Lucca will be travelling to Dunowen House in West Cork to co-host two weekends, the 24th to 26th of November and the 1st to 3rd of December, plus day courses on the 28th and 29th of November of Italian food. Guests can expect to be fully immersed in Italian culture without facing an airport.

 

You can expect to learn the skills of creating ravioli, perfecting panna cotta and making your own homemade pasta plus much more and a lot of fun along the way. 

Kela is looking forward to welcoming guests to Dunowen, she says “Ever since perfecting my own pasta-making skills in Tuscany earlier this year, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to bring this authentic experience to West Cork. The team from our friends, Burlamacchi Villa near Lucca, will be coming to Dunowen for the series to ensure participants learn from the masters! ”

The weekend residential course includes two nights' accommodation in Dunowen House, three demonstrations and hands-on classes plus all meals while staying. The price for the weekend experience is €950 per person sharing. 

The price for each mid-week day course without accommodation is €190 per person, which includes a welcome cake and coffee, two demonstrations and hands-on classes plus lunch. 

All participants will receive a bound copy of the recipes to take home.
