What to expect

Your host will guide you through Civitavecchia's market, pointing out quality produce and explaining how locals shop for daily cooking. Back in the kitchen, you'll get stuck in preparing the day's menu under close instruction—kneading dough, chopping vegetables, timing sauces. Expect to handle proper techniques and learn why ingredient choice matters. Once everything is plated, you'll sit at a family table with your creations, wine poured, espresso waiting. The printed recipe sheet means you can replicate these dishes in your own kitchen later.
