COSA DICE LA STAMPA DI ENRICA....

“…An inspired mixture of shopping, cooking and eating that has captivated Londoners since her arrival in the city…

…Dishes comprise just two or three ingredients, chosen well, cooked simply and brought to the table with gusto…Measurements are made by eye, timing done by instinct…

…Shopping with Rocca is like shopping with your best friend’s mother…

…Rocca teaches in her house, but her house is made for teaching…

…Eating scallops at 10.30 is a strange sensation…chefs eat stuff like this at 10 in the morning, so now we can too. Our faces flush with joy and mamma Enrica looks on with pride…

…Rocca’s cooking, like her temerament, is joyous, expansive and cultured…you will have your enthusiasm and love of food fired up…”
David Baker – Financial Times

“To cook like an Italian, you need to take a relaxed, easygoing approach and remember the best dishes are infinitely expandable for unexpected guests. This is the keynote of Enrica Rocca’s philosophy…

…Enrica chats to stall-holders and to her captive audience, gradually evolving a colourful and seasonal mix of ingredients, which will be served up as delicious dinner dishes later on…

…Her main aim is to keep the atmosphere relaxed and make cooking fun…

…Enrica regularly assembles a lively cast of characters for lunches and dinners…When I joined her dinner wine flowed, great food was served and we discussed the meal with that zest so typical of Italians. Perfetto!…”
Roz Cooper – The Italian Magazine

“…Simply serving up passion…She is warm, friendly and a delight to send time with. Go on a course and you’ll feel you’re spending time having fun with a friend, rather than being taught…Spontaneity plays a big part, with students picking out the ingredients they fancy and then Enrica guiding them through the process of turning basic foodstuff into gorgeous meals…She teaches you to start with the freshest available ingredients, and not to choose a recipe…”
Expresso – Summer 05

“…You’ll earn how to shop for the best ingredients ,then cook them and eat until you’re stuffed…The day is deliciously informal…There is no shopping list, that’s too limiting…Going with an open mind means that Enrica is open to all possibilities…Enrica’s knowledge is encyclopaedic and she clearly loves shopping…She’s a passionate believer that the kitchen is the heart of the home…”
