Princess Kate masters pasta in Italy's food valley

Princess Kate recently visited Italy's celebrated "food valley," a region in northern Italy famous for its high-quality food products. During her trip, which centers on her public work with childhood development, she engaged with local communities and educational initiatives.

On Thursday, the Princess tried her hand at making traditional tortelli pasta at a farmhouse between Reggio Emilia and Parma. Guided by a chef, she learned the preparation of this regional specialty. The visit also included tours of a pre-school and a center focused on reusing materials for children's learning.

Earlier in the week, Princess Kate was warmly welcomed in Reggio Emilia, a city recognized for its innovative approach to early childhood education. Before returning to the UK, she planned to meet families, exploring how care and creativity are passed down through daily traditions like cooking. This visit occurred as Italy's national cuisine was recognized by UNESCO for its cultural heritage.
