You cannot miss the opportunity to take Italian cooking class while visiting Italy and our private Cooking Lesson is made just for you!
Italy is a place full of things to do surrounded by art and history, many monuments, and museums to visit and breathtaking landscapes to enjoy but it is known that culinary traditions...
are an important part of our cultural identity and every Region has always different flavors and dishes to discover, prepared with local and fresh ingredients often coming from local producers such as extra virgin olive oil, fruits, vegetables, cheese and fish. Our alimentation is very varied and the so-called “Mediterranean Diet” is considered a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2010. In Italy, it is usual to eat together and share food with family or friends and meals are seen as an occasion to be together and socialize especially for dinner or for typical “Sunday’s lunch”.
Italians are very attached to their gastronomic culture and their recipes for this reason our chef will be more than happy to teach you the fundamentals of Italian cuisine and the secrets of some of regional dishes.
As previously said, every region in Italy has its typical dishes and recipes and with our private Cooking Lesson we will take you to discover and the traditional dishes:
