Members of the Foodie Group attended an Italian Cookery Class at the Olive Press Preston owned by Paul Heathcote. Heathcotes have been doing cookery classes and demonstrations for nearly 20 years. The recipes covered were
- Mushroom Arancini
- Orzo Pasta
- Plaice with creamed haricot blanc
- Grilled polenta cake with Mozzarella and easy tomato sauce
- Chocolate Almond and Orange cake
We were given three different rosé wines to try
- Mirabello, Pinot Grigio Rosé (very dry)
- Ancora, Monferrato Chiaretto, Piemonte (dry)
- Alasia, Brachetto D’Acqui (sweet)
We then had a three course meal.
Excellent day, the good news is that they do other themes for example Spanish, Lancashire. We are aiming to get 25 people together so we can get a good deal. and attended another cookery class.
