MammaLina’s Cookery School (London, E112EE)

Following the fantastic success of our 2025 events, we are delighted to welcome you back to a winter edition of our much-loved “Italian Cookery & Dining Experience”, taking place on 26 February 2026 at MammaLina’s Cookery School, East London.

Hosted by Adele Ursitti alongside special guest Carmela Sereno Hayes (from Carmela’s Kitchen), and proudly sponsored by Filippo Berio, this cosy evening celebrates the comforting, heart-warming dishes of the Emilia-Romagna winter table, combining hands-on learning, storytelling, and gathering around the table, Italian-style.

At the centre of the experience are two much-loved regional classics: Zuppa Imperiale in brodo and Tortelli filled with Ricotta and Mortadella. These dishes reflect the soul of Emilia-Romagna cooking – patient, generous, and deeply rooted in tradition. Full menu below.

This is not just a supper club, but an hand on cookery workshop and dining experience. You will learn how to make Tortelli from scratch, mastering traditional pasta dough, filling, and shaping techniques. Have fun, learn a new skill, and take home your own pasta creations to enjoy later. You will then be treated to a warm, winter four-course homemade Italian feast, served in the beautiful surroundings of MammaLina’s Cookery School.

What’s included:

  • Welcome Prosecco & Canapés
  • Hands-on Tortelli Pasta making workshop
  • Some pasta creations to take home
  • A four-course Italian feast
  • A pasta recipe card
  • A lovely thank-you gift bag featuring Italian cooking ingredients from Filippo Berio

Carmela & Adele, both originally from the Molise region in Southern Italy, share a passion for authentic homemade Italian food, celebrating the “cucina povera” tradition of simple, seasonal, and delicious cooking.

Come and join our Italian food lover club this winter – a cozy evening of hands-on cooking, hearty flavors, and good company!
