Overview

This isn’t your average Italian cooking class—and it’s definitely not just for pasta fans. Designed for the culinarily curious, this immersive experience is perfect for those who crave depth, story, and a little adventure on their plate.

Guided by a seasoned chef, you’ll explore Italy by flavor—tracing its regional roots from the herb-laced hills of the north to the citrus groves of the south. Sear center-cut pork chops and dress them with a punchy Italian salsa verde that puts pesto to shame. Shave fennel for a bright, sunny salad that sings of Sicily. Knead golden, garlic-studded focaccia like a Ligurian nonna. And for the finale? Zabaglione: the silky Marsala custard that whispers of old-world indulgence.

This class is made for thoughtful eaters, adventurous date-nighters, friends with refined taste, and anyone who thinks the best way to understand a place is by cooking like its people. Come hungry—for food, for stories, and for the Italy you’ve never tasted.
