Master Italian cooking at Peppers Coral Coast Resort

Peppers Coral Coast Resort at Airlie Beach is giving foodies an exclusive opportunity to advance their kitchen expertise and know-how by experiencing their Taste of Italy Masterclass Event with Executive Chef Gregory Devine on Thursday August 18.

Inspired by MasterChef’s pursuit of cooking excellence, the specially crafted Masterclass provides the ideal opportunity to learn first-hand how to prepare dishes from one of the world’s favourite countries when it comes to food – Italy.

Over the course of three hours, guests will learn valuable tricks of the trade as they are guided step-by-step through creating the perfect Italian dinner party.

Share Chef Devine’s passion as he demonstrates how to prepare an authentic antipasto plate, Milanese risotto and a sumptuous traditional Tiramisu dessert.

Guests will also have the rare opportunity to discuss all things food – taste, smell, colours and textures – with Chef Devine.

And of course, guests will not only delight their senses watching the meal prepared, cooked and presented, but will also treat their taste buds with a serving of each dish accompanied with a selection of Italian originated beverages.

The Peppers Coral Coast Resort Taste of Italy Masterclass Event begins at 5pm and will be held at the resort’s private Ocean’s Edge Villa.

Priced at $130 per person, this rare event is one not to be missed, with each guest receiving a complimentary MasterChef apron and MasterChef Series 2 cookbook to take home.
