About this tour
Work through three seafood dishes with Sandra, a Tuscan-born cook who's spent years across Milan and Matera perfecting Italy's regional seafood traditions. You'll master fish handling, sauce-building, and plating techniques under her watch before sitting down to eat what you've made, paired with Italian wines. The class runs three hours in Rome and leaves plenty of room for questions and hands-on mistakes.
Highlights
- Learn to fillet and prepare fresh fish properly
- Build three complete dishes from starter to dessert
- Taste regional Italian seafood cooking styles
- Paired local wines with each course
- Sandra's personal tips for home cooking success
What to expect
You'll spend the first part of the session at the stove with Sandra, chopping, searing, and building sauces while she moves between you and other cooks, offering corrections and shortcuts. Expect flour dust, splashing oil, and the smell of garlic hitting hot pans. Once the three courses are ready, you'll move to the table to eat together. Sandra will talk through each dish—why she chose those ingredients, how to adapt recipes at home, stories about eating similar food in small Italian towns. Wine comes out with each course. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a race.
Good to know
Let Sandra know about any allergies or dietary restrictions before arriving. Public transport reaches the venue easily. Guests under 18 cannot drink wine but still attend the class and meal.
