Roman Market Tour and Private Cooking Class

About

You can choose from a variety of themes for your hands-on cooking classes: from the joy of home-made pasta, to a range of regional recipes, to the sweetness of Italian desserts and traditional menus.

Our cooking classes are based on the respect of genuine, real family recipes. Our classes take the students through the whole cooking process. The aim is to improve their cooking skills.

Our recreational lessons are offered during the day and in the evening. Learn the magic of Italian cuisine, experimenting with traditional recipes for yourself. Our cooking classes highlight the use of seasonal ingredients. The typical class lasts 3 hours and has a maximum number of students of 12. 

The class begins with a tour into the nearby local market to learn to recognise high quality ingredients and with a small tasting of local products before starting the lesson. Once back at the school it is time to put on the apron and start cooking. This will be the chance to get a grasp of basic cooking techniques and an understanding of essential Italian ingredients.
