What to expect
Your chef will arrive with fresh local ingredients and set up in your villa kitchen. Expect a collaborative evening rather than a lecture—you'll be chopping, stirring, and tasting as you build each course. The chef demonstrates techniques specific to each dish, explains ingredient choices, and shares practical shortcuts. You'll eat what you've cooked together, with the option to ask the sommelier for wine suggestions to accompany the meal. Pace is relaxed; the focus is on understanding how Italian food actually gets made, not rushing through recipes.
Good to know
Book at least four people. Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting flour on. Let the organisers know if anyone's vegetarian when you reserve. Drinks aren't included in the package, though the sommelier can advise what to purchase. The experience is wheelchair accessible.
