2019 Case Vecchie Breadcamp
Join Fabrizia Lanza and Linda Sarris for a one week immersion into the world of Sicilian grains.
#casevecchiebreadcamp is part of an ongoing series of Anna Tasca Lanza Cooking School workshops in partnership with SNACK Sicily.
After a successful launch of Breadcamp in 2018, we are excited to announce a second workshop in autumn 2019. Join Fabrizia Lanza and Linda Sarris for a one week immersion into the world of Sicilian grains. We invite you to join our wheat revolution during this week of sticky fingers, crusty bread and local wine. The workshop will include accommodations for 5 nights, all of your meals, local culinary excursions and bread baking sessions using the wood-fired oven. We will introduce you to Sicilian varieties of wheat as we focus on traditional recipes and sourdough techniques using lievito madre.
