Cook and Eat in Rome: Learn How to Cook a 4 Courses Italian Meal

Sobre nosotros

Italy is famous in the world for pasta pizza and gelato and usually tourists coming here eat for the most this amazing food.

But italian cuisine means even main courses based on meat (marrowbones, oxtail, fried lamb ribs, meatballs, tripe, eggplants parmigiana, hunter style chicken and fish.

Even if Tiramisù is the most famous dessert we have lots more such as pannacotta, millefoglie, crostata, semifreddo, wine based donuts, lava cake.

As a guest, you will prepare your 4 courses meal (fresh pasta, main course, side and dessert) guided by my help, after which we will experience our “masterpieces” together during a lovely, friendly dinner. Our italian meal making class is all about having a good time, while learning about food and dining in Rome, and relaxing over a friendly meal with good conversation!

It is possible to customize the lesson picking up 4 courses from my proposals.

When eating in Rome, a dinner is not complete without a bottle of wine!

As such, a simple wine will be served during the dinner. For special wines, it is possible to discuss it in advance.

P.S.: I have cats in the house, in case you are allergic. :)
