Italian Cooking Class and Market Tour in Milano

Tentang

Cooking fresh seasonal food bought in the local market and is a unique way to experience Italian culture. 

Market tours and cooking classes are held on the morning of market days, in English, by Chef Clara: she is an enthusiastic Italian foodie in her mid-forties, a Le Cordon Bleu graduate, an experienced Italian cookery teacher and a certified sommelier. She loves to cook and has shared her passion for food and wine with people from all over the world for many years. Her aim is to combine teaching cookery with the traditions, habits and customs of the Italian way of life. 

We meet in the morning at Cook in Milano with Clara and take a short walk together to the nearby local fruits and vegetables open-air market to buy fresh seasonal products for the class. Then it’s back to Clara’s kitchen in a typical Italian home to have a chat about the menu of the day. Now it’s time to “wash your hands”, tie on your apron and come into the kitchen to cook a complete traditional Italian meal together: four traditional Italian recipes, depending on the season and the availability of ingredients in the local market.

All ingredients are of first-class quality, 100% Italian, fresh, organic and available worldwide wherever you live. The aim of the school is to teach how to prepare the meal yourself, from the antipasto to the coffee, so that you can repeat it in future for your family and friends, a very special souvenir to take home!

After two-and-a-half hours of fun in the kitchen, the moment finally comes to taste the results of our teamwork, sitting around the table in a typical Italian dining room to eat what we have prepared, and drink Italian wines chosen by our sommelier, who will explain the wine and the reasons for the choice/pairing.

At the end you will receive a true Italian cooking diploma and a printed recipe booklet - a the souvenir to last a lifetime!
