Italian Cooking with Claudio - Feast of Cultures

As part of the Feast of Cultures, we’re inviting members of our multicultural community to share their favourite healthy, easy recipes, along with the stories and traditions behind them.

Join us on Wednesday 27 May to learn a traditional Italian dish that celebrates delicious fresh ingredients and brings people together.

Claudio was born in Ascoli Piceno in Italy and moved to Rome at the age of 4, where he grew up surrounded by food, family, and big flavours. In 2017, he moved to Australia to pursue his dream of making music, spending 6 years in Melbourne before he and his wife Tash, settled in Castlemaine to call it home.

Food has always been a big part of Claudio’s life. With grandparents who migrated to Australia in the 50s and his mum being born in Wollongong; there is a strong connection between the two countries.

In this workshop, Claudio brings a taste of Rome to Castlemaine - sharing simple, traditional dishes he grew up with — the kind of food that’s meant to be enjoyed together.

Claudio will be cooking cacio e pepe and supplì and will tell us more about these dishes on the day.

All are welcome to attend. Andiamo!

Places are limited, so registration is essential.

Castlemaine Community House is a partner in the Feast of Cultures program with Mount Alexander Shire Council, Healthy Loddon Campaspe, Dhelkaya Health and Regional Partnerships Loddon Campaspe.
