Meet Giovanni at his apartment in Coburg, 9 km north of Melbourne's central business district. Giovanni’s specialty is Italian food – the food he grew up eating. He loves cooking with seasonal and fresh produce, and likes to make everything from scratch at home – from marmalade to pickles. Join Giovanni at the dining table to share a traditional Italian meal, that might include dishes such as grilled cheese, homemade pizza or farinata (a type of thin, unleavened pancake or crêpe made from chickpea flour) with seasonal toppings and crostata ripiena (seasonal stuffed tart) or spalmabile di cioccolato e nocciola (chocolate or hazelnut spread).

My family and I enjoyed our day with Tonya at the Cooking on the Bay class and trip to the South Market. Superb food there. We tried a couple of recipes and were happy with them on Xmas Day. Wonderful. Thank you Tonya.
