Make & Preserve Your Own Home-Made Italian Sausages

A fun hands-on class!

Winter, June, July and early August is the best time to use pork and make Calabrese salami.

In the spring evening classes you will learn to make Italian style pork sausages to eat fresh on the barby or freeze.

Need to bond with a few mates? Get a group of 6 people together! Ordinary sausages (not salami) can be made to eat fresh and/or freeze at any time of the year. Learn to make sausages using lamb or beef with various combinations of herbs, spices, wine and honey.
For a great team building day please contact us to organise a date for you (6 adults special price $500.00).

We are taking orders for several bulk purchases of preserving tomatoes throughout the tomato season – February thru late March (depending on weather). These are commercial produce, vine ripened, excellent quality through the whole 16kg box and delivered to your door. Price is not confirmed at this point but will be competitive as we will pass on the savings. An Italian family preserving day starts at around 25 boxes and up, but if you’re not sure you can use this quantity yourself, share a load with family, friends and neighbours as we’re offering free local delivery for orders of 5 boxes or more.

To order or for any questions, please email

A variety of meat, cheese, eggs and vegetables with at least 10 tapas to eat and lots of ideas to take home and share. And what goes better with this Spanish “small plate” feast? Sangria!

The “Wise King” of Castille and Leon, Alfonso X was ill when his chef decided that a succession of small dishes, each helped along with a small glass of wine, was sure to make him feel better. His recovery was so remarkable that the old king spread the news: eat little and often, he commanded, and you will live longer. And so became the tradition of Tapas.

In a Tapas Class, learn to prepare a variety of delicious dishes each with its own colour, texture and aroma providing an assortment of flavours without eating too much of one thing. Ideal for both vegetarians and meat-eaters.

Please contact us to organise a date for your group (min 4). Special price of $50.00 per person for a group of 6 or more if you book before end December 2010.

Reward, recognise and recreate. Enjoy a day out of the office to explore the creative side of life and engage side by side in some anti-competitive behaviour!
