Inspired by countless trips to Italy, during which she experienced an enormous variety of regional specialities, renowned restaurateur Katie Caldesi has set out to find the very best of these provincial variations, resulting in this inimitable compendium of Italian food The Italian Cookery Course. Combining a mixture of the traditional with the contemporary, the 500 recipes that ensue are interwoven with fascinating narrative about the influences and the people, just as much a part of the dish as its flavour. Katie Caldesi owns London’s Caffe Caldesi and Caldesi in Campagna in Bray with her husband, Giancarlo. She is the principal of La Cucina Caldesi , the only Italian cookery school in central London. Nigel Barden is a food & drink presenter on the Sony Gold winning Chris Evans Show on BBC Radio 2, the Robert Elms Show on BBC London & the Shaun Keaveny Show on BBC 6 Music. He was formerly food & drink editor of Maxim & now contributes to The Daily Telegraph, Observer, Independent & Whisky Magazine, as a food, drink & travel journalist. A dinner prepared by Katie Caldesi will follow (Starters, Risotto, Brasato with polenta, Dessert accompanied by different wines will be served). Ticket £35 for talk and dinner.
