The team of the Associazione Art. Cult. “A Rocca” and Eprojectconsult International department, in cooperation with a school in Slovakia, hosted a group in the frame of the Erasmus+ programme. We hosted 2 selected participants. They participated in a training course in the field of Food and Wine.
The training course was a combination of lectures, workshop, cooking, wine tasting and food pairing exercises had been used to develop an understanding of how to pair wines with food at an advanced level.
Cultural Programme
The participants learned to prepare typical Sicilian dishes, and to combine these dishes with different wines. They also learned how to set up the famous Italian “aperitivo” and how to bake typical Italian bread. Thanks to the local restaurants they also got to enjoy many different Italian and Sicilian dishes every day. The participants also had the chance to visit some beautiful places in Sicily, including Syracuse and Noto. We hope that their experience of living abroad was unforgettable and enriching in many different ways.
