About this tour
A three-hour hands-on class where you'll learn to cook risotto from a Milan-based chef, building skills across multiple preparations tied to the season. You'll work through the technique that makes this Lombardy staple so adaptable—from earthy mushroom versions to seafood variations—then sit down to eat what you've made, paired with local wine. Walk away with the recipe, a kitchen gadget, and the confidence to reproduce it at home.
Highlights
- Cook seasonal risotto variations under chef guidance
- Taste paired Italian wines selected by your host
- Receive printed recipe and take-home kitchen tool
- Eat your finished dish with fellow participants
- Learn Lombardy regional cooking technique
What to expect
You'll arrive at the chef's kitchen and spend the opening hour understanding risotto's core method: toasting rice, building flavour with stock, and achieving that signature creamy finish through constant stirring and timing. The chef will walk you through ingredient choices and seasonal swaps—autumn might mean mushrooms and sausage; summer could pivot to seafood or spring vegetables. You'll work hands-on, tasting as you go and asking questions. After cooking, you'll dine together on the risotto you've made, with wine recommendations explained and poured throughout. The session wraps with you receiving a printed recipe card and a practical kitchen tool to take home.
Good to know
Arrive ready to stand and stir actively for stretches. Mention any food allergies or dietary requirements when booking so the chef can adjust recipes. The class suits adults (wine service is 18+), and the kitchen is wheelchair accessible with level surfaces throughout. Public transport links are nearby if you prefer not to drive.
