Learn to cook like a local in this small group class that tackles the Italian classics. The generational tradition of extended mealtimes will be stretched across three fun-filled hours, culminating in a well-deserved sampling of the fruits of your labor.
This interactive class will give you the true sense of nonna’s loving kitchen, whilst taking place in either a stunning 17th Century Palazzo next to Piazza Navona or in a sleek and stylish school just a stone’s throw from the Pantheon. Led by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable English-speaking chef, our cooking masterclass is perfect for kids and adults, beginners and experts, and locals and tourists.
Jumping from starter to dessert?
The class commences with a welcome glass of prosecco and an antipasti to warm the taste buds. Then, we’ll make the seemingly strange decision to delve straight into preparing the tantalizing tirmisù. Don’t worry, we aren’t skipping our mains. Instead, we're ensuring the tiramisù has enough time to set before you can enjoy it.
Savoiardi (ladyfingers) are gently dipped in rich coffee before being layered with dollops of delicately mixed eggs and panna (cream). Finished off with a sprinkle of cocoa, these delicious desserts are set aside to rest in time for an after-dinner energy boost. In fact, the espresso within a tiramisù is what gives it a name that translates literally as "pick me up!"
Fresh pasta paired with mouth-watering sauces
Rolling up our sleeves, here is where we channel our inner nonna. Mixing, kneading, rolling, and shaping our fresh pasta from scratch will work up a sweat but result in elegant end products. We will then combine these carefully crafted creations with the flavors of the season and locality; be it tangy cacio e pepe, creamy carbonara, or saucy amatriciana.
Enjoy a well-deserved homemade meal
The only thing left in this cooking class is to fill up on your very own Italian classics! Celebrate the accomplishment with family-friendly company, a gorgeous setting, and a selection of red or white wines and soft drinks.
