Healthyliving Award:

Bellini Cookery School is proud to announce it has successfully achieved the Heathyliving Award. We are the only Cookery School to hold this award and this will mean that at least half of the recipes that we use on every class will be Healthyliving recipes.

Over the last few months the school has worked along with Healthyliving and adapted recipes to suit the requirements of the award. In some cases this could prove a demanding task without compromising authenticity and flavours of true Italian cuisine, but we are pleased to say that this was accomplished to the best of our ability and has made healthier cooking options available throughout our classes.

Healthyliving Recipe Comparison

At Bellini Cookery School, we try to use fresh ingredients whenever possible with absolutely no additives or preservatives, many of our recipes already meet Healthyliving criteria whilst some require minor adjustments.
Let us look at and compare our 2 recipes for Pollo Pizzaiola and compare the criteria set by Healthyliving:

1. Chicken is grilled and not sauté in olive oil, therefore less oil or fat is used, reducing calories and also cholestrol.
2. As chicken is grilled, we cook the sauce separately, but only use a minimum of olive oil (1 tablespoon) to cook the garlic separately, thus allowing the flavour to develop in the dish.

As you can see, only a few steps need to be taken to adjust your cooking methods to Healthyliving and make you a healthier person, so go on give it a try, it can’t do you any harm, promise!

Corporate Enjoy their time at Bellini Cookery School.
Gina Giubarelli

Bellini were thrilled to welcome back "The Scottish Executive" recently for 2 team-building days. Aprons were donned and all teams played a significant part in the preparation a 3-course meal. The sessions ended with teams sitting down to enjoy their works of art along with a refreshing glass of chilled Pinot Grigio, and thus a jolly good time was had by all!

New clients included "Martin Currie" and "Napier University" both corporations enjoyed immensely Chef Angelo’s relaxed class, congenial manner and extensive Italian culinary knowledge. The "proof is in the pudding" and all participants greatly enjoyed their delicious Italian dishes and set off happily to replicate their recipes at home.

It seemed the all out favourite was Pollo Pizzaiola (chicken with fresh tomatoes, garlic, wine and oregano), a simple, light, classic easy-to-do dish that is just perfect for lazy summer days. See/link recipes
