The Deal

Belllini Cookery School’s ‘Cook and Go’ classes present a choice of Italian cooking styles to groups of up to eight. Options include king or queen of the BBQ; fresh pasta; pizza and calzone; bread and foccacia; and risotto-making classes. Equipment, ingredients and aprons are provided by the school, so pupils only need to bring a little elbow grease. Alternatively, customers can opt for the private class, cooking a three-course meal under the guidance of Italian-born chef, Angelo Cimini, and enjoy the fruits of their labour either on the premises after the class, or at home.

The Merchant

Preceded by the Bellini Restaurant, the Bellini Cookery School was established over a decade ago by Gina Giubarelli and chef Angelo Cimini. The classes feature many dishes from Angelo’s home town of Villa Santa Maria, and include step-by-step instruction so meals can be created again at home. Angelo is a graduate chef of the Instituto Professionale de Alberghieri in Abruzzo, and relocated to Edinburgh after a career in Venice. Now, he teaches at the cooking school at classes covering the likes of fresh pasta and bread making.
