What travellers are saying about our experiences
Rome Cooking Class
Rome is famous for its food as much as its ancient ruins and iconic sights. After exploring the Colosseum and the streets of the Eternal City, a cooking class in Rome is a chance to slow down, get into the kitchen and learn how some of the city’s best-known dishes are made.
Get hands-on making fresh pasta from scratch and learning the techniques behind traditional Roman cooking. Cacio e pepe, carbonara and amatriciana are all part of Rome’s food culture, where a few good ingredients and the right technique make all the difference. And for something sweet, you’ll finish with a homemade tiramisu.
Once the cooking is done, sit down together and enjoy what you’ve made with a glass of local Italian wine. It’s relaxed, informal and a good way to enjoy a meal with the people you’ve been cooking with.
Our Rome cooking class is a chance to spend a few hours away from the monuments, cook good Italian food and leave with recipes you’ll actually want to make again.
