Brisbane: Italian Cooking Class with Pasta
Learn to make authentic Italian dishes in a hands-on cooking class. Create fresh pasta, focaccia, and panna cotta, then sit down and enjoy a feast of your creations.
The lamington is the Queensland-invented sponge cube dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut. Created in Brisbane circa 1900 and a national emblem.
The lamington was reportedly invented in Brisbane in 1900 at the Government House kitchen during the term of Lord Lamington as Queensland Governor. The chef is said to have devised the recipe to use leftover stale sponge cake, dipping it in chocolate icing and rolling in coconut to make it portable. The cake quickly spread across Queensland CWA (Country Women's Association) bake sales and is now a sacred staple of Australian morning teas, school fetes and Anzac Day fundraisers. Brisbane bakeries still claim particular ownership; an annual 'National Lamington Day' has fallen on 21 July each year since 2006.
