First up is Arancini Masterclass on Sunday 8 September where you’ll learn the secrets of crafting classic Sicilian arancini under Concetta’s expert guidance (if you thought Arancini was just fried risotto – prepare to be enlightened!). Drawing from generations of family traditions, Concetta will share her techniques and flavours in this fun and tasty workshop.
