An Indoor Live Virtual Tour conducted by me from my kitchen in Ravenna using live video-conferencing software


Loved by children, adults and elderly, meatballs are a timeless dish of Italian cuisine. Originally invented as a way to recycle leftovers from the day before, meatballs can be created with anything from your cupboard and fridge: meat, cheese, fish, vegetables, legumes. . . and the way to cook them are various as well !

On this cooking class, I want to share with you how my mother used (and still does) to cook them when I was a child : meatballs with tomato sauce. Keep in mind that with this recipe it's crucial to serve on the table a good loaf of homemade bread for the final "scarpetta", an essential custom for this amazing dish !

This Indoor Live Virtual Tour is delivered personally and live by me using a professional live video conferencing software
