la bella tavola cooking classes
“La Bella Tavola” (The Beautiful Table) plays a very important role in every Italian household.
It is a sacred place where loved ones gather, where decisions are made, news is shared, songs are sung, food is prepared and enjoyed together and most importantly traditions are passed down from generation to generation.
Eat well and join us at our Beautiful Table! Mangiate bene! Venita alla nostra Bella Tavola!
The Kelowna Canadian Italian Club is passionate about "Preserving Our Culture and Heritage". We are a nation of food lovers with a passion to share it with those we care about. We invite you to take a seat A La Bella Tavola. Join us as we visit the many beautiful regions of Italy and learn about Italian traditions, culture, the people, and our love for the food from our country.
We have guest presenters from various regions demonstrating secret recipes handed down for generations. Simple techniques with simple kitchen tools that create elegant and sophisticated flavours.
Each 3-hour session will be a trip through an Italian vegetable garden, a well-stocked food pantry and an abundant vineyard. We will learn traditional techniques, discover new spices and herbs, and learn the traditions of Italian holidays and lifestyle.
Get ready to learn some Italian words and phrases you can use at your very own table. Our classes SELL OUT quickly so don't delay!

La bella tavola team
La Bella Tavola (The Beautiful Table) Committee was formed in 2017 to promote Italian culture and traditions by teaching the community the art of Italian cooking. This group believes that one of the best ways to promote and share the Italian culture is by teaching and preserving the art of cooking. They encourage collaboration between different generations when producing classes and events. La Bella Tavola committee participants range in age from the mid 20's to the mid 80's (we have some special Nonnas who are our feature presenters).
To date, La Bella Tavola Cooking Classes have had 120 students take part in their program. Each class consists of a hands on pasta making portion, a family style dinner at "the Beautiful Table" and then the evening is wrapped up with a cultural presentation.
Together, this group shares their love and knowledge of Italian language, culture, cooking techniques, travel, art, history and friendship.
