Doing my bit as a true Abruzzese, I made "fiadoni" this week. I was not too happy with the way they looked as my oven took me by surprise, but let me say that the taste was just perfect. I am so glad I can make them just like my nonna did. There are some traditions that are just precious and making Fiadoni is one of them.⠀ Thanks for the recipe @paoladelgreco ⠀ Buona Pasqua a tutti.⠀ #lacucinadisandra#toeatwellisanart#bestcookingclasses#thebest#fabfour#italianfood#foodie#melbourne#richmond#italianregionalfood#melbournefoodexperiences#italian#delicious#photooftheday#foodpic#instafood#amazing#foodlove#cooking#foodporn#cookingclasses#cookingschool#melbournefoodblogger#melbournefoodie#pasqua#easter#celebrate#tradition#abruzzo#pescara⠀ (at La Cucina di Sandra, Cooking Classes & Food Events)

Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto esserci di persona 😢 ...ma da @amerigo1934 a Savigno (Bologna) c'era anche il gelato di Chiara (sorbetto alla Vitovska di Rado Kocjancic) per la bellissima serata Okusi Krasa | Sapori del Carso. Alla prossima e grazie dell'ospitalità! 🤗😍 #Repost @amerigo1934 ・・・ Il sorriso e la soddisfazione dei protagonisti della bella serata Okusi Krasa-Sapori del Carso.

We picked our cherry looking olives today. Aren't they beautiful? They are in a jug now ready for stage one of their preserving life, using a recipe from the great @preservingtheitalianway book by Pietro Demaio. I am so happy with our crop, let's hope we will get a good result.⠀ Happy Sunday everyone.⠀ ⠀ #lacucinadisandra#toeatwellisanart#bestcookingclasses#thebest#fabfour#italianfood#foodie#melbourne#richmond#italianregionalfood#melbournefoodexperiences#italian#delicious#photooftheday#foodpic#instafood#amazing#foodlove#cooking#foodporn#cookingclasses#cookingschool#melbournefoodblogger#melbournefoodie#growyourown#olives#olivetree#italian#preserving (at La Cucina di Sandra, Cooking Classes & Food Events)

Our olive tree has fruit the size and color of cherries; it makes me happy just to look at it. It is so beautiful. It must have at least one kilo of fruit. Does anyone know when I should pick them? ⠀ I'd love to try curing them if can bring myself to pick them off the tree!!⠀ ⠀ #lacucinadisandra#toeatwellisanart#bestcookingclasses#thebest#fabfour#italianfood#foodie#melbourne#richmond#italianregionalfood#melbournefoodexperiences#italian#delicious#photooftheday#foodpic#instafood#amazing#foodlove#cooking#foodporn#cookingclasses#cookingschool#melbournefoodblogger#melbournefoodie#growyourown#olives#olivetree#italian#preserving (at La Cucina di Sandra, Cooking Classes & Food Events)

The egg yolk rich pappardelle yesterday, ready to be paired with an amazing lamb ragu' Abruzzo style.⠀ The pappardelle were really hard work, the pasta dough was very hard to work with but worth it in the end. That's what usually happens with hard work!! I was very happy as everyone loved them and the lamb ragu' of course.⠀ ⠀ #lacucinadisandra#toeatwellisanart#bestcookingclasses#thebest#fabfour#italianfood#foodie#melbourne#richmond#italianregionalfood#melbournefoodexperiences#italian#delicious#photooftheday#foodpic#instafood#amazing#foodlove#cooking#foodporn#cookingclasses#cookingschool#pasta#pastalove#pastafresca#melbourneeats#pasqua#easter#celebrate⠀ (at La Cucina di Sandra, Cooking Classes & Food Events)

Preparation are under way for our Easter Sunday lunch and the first course, “Polpettone di Pasqua”, an old Easter favourite stuffed with hard boiled eggs, lots of cheese goodness and wrapped in prosciutto.

It’s that time of the month when we get to talk all night about Abruzzo and its cuisine, needless to say #Pescara takes center stage with the lion share of the dishes on the menu. Another sold out class tonight and there are only a few places left to the April class, I know you will love the class and the diverse food of my home region so be quick to book, I would love to have you along.⠀ Here a photo of a slightly different Pescara, back in the mid 80s, just as gorgeous today as it was then.

Slow, slow cooked and for a long time, that’s how the squid ended up being as soft as butter and as delicious as you can imagine. It’s a goer and it will be on the menu. Soon. Tonight the taste tester approved it, big time!⠀ ⠀ #lacucinadisandra#toeatwellisanart#bestcookingclasses#thebest#fabfour#italianfood#foodie#melbourne#richmond#italianregionalfood#melbournefoodexperiences#italian#delicious#photooftheday#foodpic#instafood#amazing#foodlove#cooking#foodporn#cookingclasses#cookingschool#melbournefoodblogger#melbournefoodie#melbourneeats#seaffod#pescara#abruzzo#nonna ⠀ (at La Cucina di Sandra, Cooking Classes & Food Events)

Yes, they were and they were certainly a great hit with my guests, they loved them. And let me say for the very first time, they may take a while to make but they are definitely worth the effort. I was very popular when these were served for lunch!!! ⠀ Thank you @rachelaliceroddy an absolutely perfect recipe, a pleasure to follow and the best suppli' I have ever had outside of Italy!⠀ ⠀ #lacucinadisandra#toeatwellisanart#bestcookingclasses#thebest#fabfour#italianfood#foodie#melbourne#richmond#italianregionalfood#melbournefoodexperiences#italian#photooftheday#foodpic#instafood#amazing#foodlove#cooking#foodporn#cookingclasses#cookingschool#melbournefoodblogger#melbournefoodie#melbourneeats#foodie#suppli#telefono#specialguests (at La Cucina di Sandra, Cooking Classes & Food Events)

Our late night team supper, with tonight's class leftover white ragu'. One of the favorite dishes at this class, how lucky to be able to have this food leftover!

On a summer night with wintry temperatures, making pasta e fagioli (pasta with beans) seemed like a good idea. At least something will warm us up and I will be able to put to good use these fresh borlotti beans I froze a while back. I was not sure they were going to freeze well for later use, but I am happy with the result so far.⠀ ⠀ #lacucinadisandra#toeatwellisanart#bestcookingclasses#thebest#fabfour#italianfood#foodie#melbourne#richmond#italianregionalfood#melbournefoodexperiences#italian#photooftheday#foodpic#instafood#amazing#foodlove#cooking#foodporn#cookingclasses#cookingschool#melbournefoodblogger#melbournefoodie#melbourneeats#foodie#hiddengem#pasta#recipetesting#abruzzo⠀ (at La Cucina di Sandra, Cooking Classes & Food Events)

The main course today, traditional Cavatelli e ceci con i frutti di mare. Pasta with seafood and chick peas. I love to cook with the best local seafood. Today our guests enjoyed beautiful Portarlington mussels, in season and at their best now and SA pipis with this summery comfort food staple in #Pugliese cuisine.⠀ ⠀ To book your special lunch time class head over to my website, link in profile www.lacucinadisandra.com.au⠀ or email me lacucina.disandra@ozemail.com.au⠀ ⠀ #lacucinadisandra#toeatwellisanart#bestcookingclasses#thebest#fabfour#italianfood#foodie#melbourne#richmond#italianregionalfood#melbournefoodexperiences#italian#photooftheday#foodpic#instafood#amazing#foodlove#cooking#foodporn#cookingclasses#cookingschool#melbournefoodblogger#melbournefoodie#melbourneeats#foodie#bespoke#corporatelunch#pasta#tradition⠀ Photo credit @thetravellingpantry ⠀ ⠀ (at La Cucina di Sandra, Cooking Classes & Food Events)
