与主厨 Paolo Monti 一起体验半天美食烹饪课程——鱼类和海鲜课程

My classes included fish and seafood; cooking of Lucca, the Chef's hometown; as well as several kinds of risotto and scaloppine, and more!

The experience was very interactive and day one was mainly fish and seafood. Lots of tips on prep and execution of the dishes.

We spent the morning with Chef Paolo, and had a wonderful time (some bad jokes included), and learned quite a bit. Italian cooking is all about making the most of fresh ingredients; over the course of 3+ hours, and under his guidance we helped him prepare 10 separate dishes (3 antipasti, 3 primi, 3 secondi + panna Cotta), taking time after each round to gorge ourselves on truly fresh, tasty and contrasting selections. Ours was the fish and seafood section, so we enjoyed multiple versions of fresh branzino, clams, mussels, shrimp & calamari, with crispy fresh veggies and a crisp little chardonnay from the Veneto. A whole lot of fun, but plan to spend the rest of the day feeling incredibly happy and full. We will do it again when we return to the wonderful town of Lucca

I did the Fish and Seafood Cooking Class at Chef Paolo Monti Cooking School. I learnt so much and enjoyed every minute of it. It has given me the confidence to cook with some ingredients that I have never really cook with before. My husband does most of the Italian cooking at home. While I cook Indian (and other) foods. But when I saw the details of the course, I found it hard to resist. And having done it, I cannot recommend it enough. Chef Paolo was absolutely fantastic, with a wealth of experience and knowledge. He took me through some of the basics; then we cooked some of the best fish dishes I have ever had. We smelled, we tasted, checked for textures as we cooked and enjoyed a feast afterwards. And of course we chatted. He is well travelled and even remembered a few Hindi words. We compared notes on some of our favourite food markets and shared food adventures. I left with a full heart—and tummy!

This was an amazing experience for our whole family - the four of us took the two day course and had 8 full hours of instruction on pastas and sauces (Day 1), and seafood (Day 2). The classes were hands-on and fast-paced - the facilities were comfortable, spacious, and clean and the food was superb!
