Friuli-Venezia Giulia cuisine is a small universe to be discovered non only by the gourmets but also by those who like experimenting in the kitchen. A border area, where many people with different traditions and customs have passed through, migrating from the mountains to the sea, and have left a significant print on the Friuli Venezia Giulia cuisine. This region, going from the mountains to the sea through the hills of Collio, makes us perceive the influence of the Austro-Hungarian empire, of the Venetian merchants, and the harshness of the mountains with ethnic Germans. Thanks to our professional peculiarity we offer Cooking Classes to enhance the tastes typical of our territory, by using local food products in the most proper way, following the tradition, with an open and innovative vision.
Cooking Classes are divided as follows:
1. Personalised Cooking Classes at “AL Grop” Restaurant, run by Simona, for both Italians and foreign guests. They are focused on a theme or a season (with local seasonal food products) and offer the possibility to explore local food history and its peculiarities through recipes, lessons, events and meetings in collaboration with Emanuela Plazzotta.
2. Cooking Classes organised at different facilities or locations that request it to the Network for their customers or groups. The classes are taught by the cooking master Emanuela Plazzotta (Cuk-it cooking school), born in Trieste and grown up in Carnia, with a grandfather who moved to Trieste in the ’30 to open a bakery. She has taught for years, trying to transmit during her lessons the love for her region by using local food products, by proposing revisited dishes and menus with a modern approach. Thanks to her passion and expertise, you will experience an amazing culinary journey. She works with Viroca Srl taking care of the Wedding sector.
