Italian Cookies

In this cooking class experience you will learn how to make these delightful Italian sweet treats from the North of Italy, Piedmonte, the home of hazelnuts.

Baci Di Dame “Italian Kisses”: these delight chocolate and hazelnut biscuits will melt in your mouth and look beautiful too; and they make a great gift.

Brutti Ma Buoni “ugly but beautiful”: the name does ring true, they aren’t going to win any prizes on looks… but these nutty meringue based treats are a favourite in our house. There a few nut flavours for you to chose - pine nuts, hazelnut, pistachio or even pecan nuts. My personal favourite is the pistachio!

Chocolate Florentines: Thin, crispy, chewy, nutty and fruity. With a delicate coating of chocolate. Delicious!
