Italian Cooking Class and Dinner at a Chef's House in Turin

About this tour

Spend 3.5 hours in Matteo's Turin kitchen learning to cook risotto or fresh pasta from scratch. You'll work through ingredient selection, technique, and flavour pairing alongside your host, then sit down together for dinner and wine—the way Italian families actually eat. Walk away with hands-on skills, recipes you can recreate at home, and a genuine connection to how Italians approach food and time in the kitchen.

Highlights

• Master risotto or fresh pasta-making with a local chef
• Handle ingredients and techniques yourself, not just watch
• Wine and three-course meal included
• Small group setting, personalised guidance throughout
• Menus adapted for allergies and dietary requirements

What to expect

You'll arrive at Matteo's home kitchen and dive straight into planning your menu. He'll walk you through choosing quality ingredients and show you why Italian cooks make the choices they do—it's a working class, not a lecture. Expect to chop, stir, taste, and adjust. You'll learn techniques designed to save time and energy without sacrificing flavour. Once your dish is ready, you'll eat together at the table with wine, talking food the way locals do. Bring an apron and a notebook if you want to jot down ratios or tricks.
