Classes - Enrica Rocca Cooking School

VENICE CLASSES

After an early morning guided tour of the Rialto market with Enrica enthusing about every aspect of its fresh Venetian produce and Italian cuisine and a brief stop at one of the city's small bars for a Spritz - traditional liquid 11s - of Campari, Prosecco and seltzer, we return to the Rocca family's beautiful palazzo on the Zattere laden with sufficient ingredients to eat solidly for 6 hours.

Starkly contrasting to the stately 1800s furnishings of the main palazzo, Enrica's own apartment - really just one huge kitchen and entertaining space - is ultra modern (she refused to have anything in it more than two years old) and as uniquely vibrant as its owner - stools covered in springbok-skins dyed in vivid primary colours, bold modern art, zebra skin rugs on grey slate floors, bright orange heaters and lots of polished stainless steel.....

On the food- Enrica’s focus is simple: to teach people to love the essence of Venetian food and wine. Dishes are chosen according to the real Venetian tradition: a simple and often light cuisine, created to enhance the original flavour of ingredients without altering them through too complicated cooking methods. All dishes are then devoured by a team of happy, laughing, variously talented and increasingly wine-sodden kitchen assistants.
