Their landscapes of wooded hills, mountain pastures and medieval villages have shaped a winter cuisine rooted in the \u003cem\u003ecucina contadina\u003c\/em\u003e: handmade pasta, legumes, wild greens, cheeses and the resourceful use of simple ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut despite their shared geography, each region has its own distinct character. Landlocked Umbria is known for its farming and \u003cem\u003enorcineria\u003c\/em\u003e traditions; Le Marche stretches from the mountains to the Adriatic, bringing together inland and coastal influences; while Abruzzo and Molise share a long pastoral history shaped by ancient shepherding routes. Different historical influences, from the Papal States to the southern Kingdom of Naples, have also left their mark on local food traditions, giving us a surprisingly diverse culinary landscape to explore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this hands-on winter class, Cucinato partner Gaia Massai will be joined by Chef Marco Marani to explore the flavours and traditions of these lesser-known regions. Together, we'll prepare a hearty seasonal meal, learn a few traditional techniques and discover the stories behind the dishes before gathering around our communal harvest table to enjoy the meal together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eMENU\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANTIPASTO | Abruzzo \u0026amp; Molise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePallotte Cac'e Ove\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional fried pecorino, egg and bread balls simmered in a rich tomato sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRIMO | Le Marche\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePincinelle al Ragù di Salsiccia e Tarassaco\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandmade rustic pasta with a savoury sausage ragù and slightly bitter dandelion greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSECONDO | Le Marche\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConiglio in Porchetta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHerb-roasted rabbit with wild fennel, garlic and rosemary.
