About this Event

Welcome to Basil & Bliss: Sustainable Italian Classics with Marta Napoleoni

Location: The Plant Room at Manchester's Freight Island

Ciao! Join me as we make authentic recipes using seasonal and eco-conscious ingredients. Learn the secrets to pillowy potato gnocchi and swirl them in homemade basil pesto. Transform day-old bread into fresh panzanella and whip a frothy Crema Al Caffè for dessert. Then, gather around our communal table to enjoy your creations — or take them home. All ingredients and recipes provided.

The Cracking Good Food Cookery School is Ethical, Sustainable, Delicious and genuinely makes a difference. We are a social enterprise and every delicious dish you create goes beyond the kitchen.

- Your fee supports our community work to alleviate food, fuel and kitchen kit insecurity across Greater Manchester

- Each ticket provides a nourishing meal for the homeless community

- And we ask you to bring a piece of pre-loved kitchen kit such as a mug, grater or pot for our Kitchen Kit Call Out redistribution campaign for communities in need

Join us after work or for an evening out – learn new skills, have fun, eat some Cracking Good Food and make a difference. Limited places, book now.

This really is cooking from the heart!
