What to Expect

Discover the flavors of the Veneto region in a welcoming, hands-on Italian cooking class dedicated to Treviso late radicchio, a prized local specialty also known as the “Flower of Winter.” Join your host at their home to learn about the history of this distinctive vegetable and the traditional process it undergoes before reaching your table.

Together, you will prepare three delicious recipes showcasing radicchio's versatility, from a savory appetizer to a traditional first course and a regional dessert. Make homemade-bread crostino topped with creamy stracchino cheese and sautéed radicchio, prepare a comforting risotto with radicchio and luganega, a traditional Venetian sausage, and finish with fregolotta, a typical local almond dessert featuring radicchio.

Enjoy an authentic taste of local culinary traditions, discover the stories behind regional ingredients, and share the pleasure of Italian home cooking in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
