The accent is on traditional and contemporary Italian recipes, as used in the family and restaurants, using the freshest ingredients, fresh herbs, and short cooking times. Paolo Monti has selected the tastiest and best recipes that are quick to prepare (except a few) that, what do you know is the Mediterranean diet.
The classes are conducted in a light entertaining atmosphere with not only lots of background information on ingredients, origins of the foods, and recipes, but also jokes and fun, just like preparing the family lunch on a Sunday.
