The best thing to do when you have lots of lemons is to make Limoncello and Granita! In this interactive cooking class, you will learn how to make delicious Limoncello and one of the most ancient frozen desserts, Lemon Granita.

In Italy, ordering a Limoncello is a hit or miss affair, sometimes it’s an incredible taste sensation, and other times it seems like a sticky sugar syrup with lemon flavoring. To make delicious Limoncello you need time and patience, so in this class, we will look in detail at all the steps necessary to make your own Limoncello. We will also discuss how to adjust and adapt Limoncello recipes to suit your own tastes.

Granita is one of the oldest frozen recipes that we know of: the Greeks were making it using ice from Mount Etna in Sicily over 2000 years ago! In this class, we will use one of the oldest (and fastest) methods to make this refreshing frozen dessert, it just requires a little science and a little elbow grease. We will also discuss other tried-and-tested methods for making granita that require more time (but less of a work-out!)

You are invited to watch and discuss or to cook along with this interactive class.
