Continuing our Cookbook dinner series, we are celebrating ‘Rosa’s Farm’.

Italian-born Melbourne chef Rosa Mitchell and her husband Colin bought their farm at Yandoit in Central Victoria in the late 1980s. They acquired 20 acres of cleared land running up a volcanic hill, a few fruit trees and a dilapidated milking shed. The farm, which has expanded over the years, has always been a special haven for Rosa and her family, a place for good food and wine and celebratory meals. In this book she shares recipes for her favourite Italian dishes which are simple, traditional, lovingly prepared and utterly authentic.

During this special event, Rosa will be cooking a selection of recipes from this book for you to enjoy.

To kick off our new Cookbook dinner series, we are starting with celebrating 10 years of “My Cousin Rosa”. The first of Rosa’s cookbooks “My Cousin Rosa” follows the journey from Sicily to Australia- a surprisingly small step in kitchen miles. The tablecloth and stockpot are the same, cardoons and fennel still grow wild on the roadside and the extended family and neighbours gather to make salami in the barn once a year. My Cousin Rosa captures the atmosphere, experiences and recipes of Rosa’s kitchen. The dishes are soulful, traditional, family-orientated and utterly authentic.

It is Rosa’s turn to cook from the book for this very special Birthday celebration. Held on the day before Mother’s Day it is the perfect gift for Mum.
