Tuscan Summer Lunch at La Cucina Caldesi

Summer may, once again, be a bit of a washout but you can still enjoy a taste of the balmy Mediterranean at La Cucina Caldesi which is offering plenty of foodie treats throughout August.

On 15 August La Fromagerie’s Patricia Michelson will talk you through Italian cheeses while wine expert Luisa Welch will keep you well oiled. (£65)

And if crostata di lamponi, zabagione semifreddo, chocolate and hazelnut torta and orange and almond spice cookies hit your buttons, don’t miss La Dolce Vita with Ursula Ferrigno on 16 August. Ursula will teach you to make all of these sweet things and more. (£95)
