Massimo Bottura – online Italian cooking course
Italian chef Massimo Bottura’s daily #kitchenquarantine cookery demos and Q&A sessions on Instagram proved particularly popular during the global lockdown. The English-speaking 7pm livestreams from the kitchen of his family home regularly attracted more than 200,000 views for recipes such as tiramisu, ragu and even a decidedly non-Italian veggie-packed Thai curry. The chef-patron of three-Michelinstarred Osteria Francescana restaurant in Modena, has a series of Modern Italian sessions on MasterClass, which also features courses from renowned chefs Thomas Keller and Alice Waters, and pastry chef Dominique Ansel. Pay £85 for 12 lessons (including a downloadable class cookbook), or you can buy two site passes for £170, which gives you access to all chefs, and learn anything from simple pesto and pasta making, to risotto and zero-waste broth making good use of leftovers such as potato peelings and onion skins. mastercl
