The gastronomy is one of the fundamental aspects of the uses and the civilization of a culture. To travel and to visit new countries means also get in contact with national tastes and flavours of a country.

The Italian gastronomy is based on the Mediterranean diet. Poor of animal fat, to advantage of those vegetable, the Mediterranean kitchen is rich of vegetables, legumes and fruits. The meats do not lack however, above all those red ones, and the fish, used both for the preparation of “sugo” and special “pasta”, or for savoury dishes.

Cooking course at teacher’s home

The kitchen course is carried out at teacher’s home. Groups are composed of minimum 2 - maximum 4 students. The course is available individually. The students prepare the dishes themselves, guided and helped by our teachers.

All the course is held 1, 2 or max 3 times weekly. Each lessons last 3 hours and at the end of the lessons the prepared menu is offered as dinner.

This is also considered a great experience and an unforgettable moment of socialization.

Cooking course at school

Our courses are practical, provided for nine students at the most. The students prepare the dishes themselves, guided and helped by our teachers.

We offer as well, for larger groups of 30 at the most, cooking demonstrations: the teacher prepares the dishes step by step in front of the participants.

We offer a choice of either Italian classic or local typical cooking courses and lessons.

We offer lessons in French or in English, to be planned case by case. To people wishing to practise their Italian during the lessons, we recommend to join a regular group course. All the participants will receive the recipes’ texts – in Italian, English or French - to take away.

Every lesson is about three hours long. Afterwards the students and the teachers eat and comment on the different dishes they have made. Specific local wines are served as well.

The students having joined the practical courses will be presented with an apron with our school’s logo.

We will be happy to draw up a personal estimate. For this, we only need to know the exact number of lessons you want, their dates and schedule, your choice of Italian or local cooking and if you want to join a group course or take individual lessons.
