ITALIAN COOKING CLASS, Learn the secrets of authentic Italian cooking from expert chefs
Italian cooking classes on Lake Maggiore
Do you want to learn how to cook three typical Italian dishes that are easy to make? You can do it with us during our private Italian cooking class in the province of Varese, on the shores of Lake Maggiore. The class will take place in the garden of a villa from the early 1900s near the lake, where you can savor the dishes prepared, accompanied by a glass of red wine. We look forward to sharing this experience with you! See you soon!
You can choose between four different menus:
Menù A
Pizzoccheri: we will learn to make a typical pasta from Valtellina using buckwheat flour, seasoned with potatoes, cheese, and cabbage; Pesto Genovese: a sauce made with basil, pine nuts or walnuts, garlic, and Parmesan; and finally, Tiramisù: one of the most famous and beloved Italian desserts worldwide.
Menù B
Pasta with pesto or amatriciana sauce: We will learn how to make homemade pasta, which will be served either with pesto or with a typical Roman sauce made of tomato, guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino cheese, and black pepper. Stuffed baked eggplant: tender eggplants filled and baked with Mediterranean flavors; and to finish,
Tiramisù: the timeless Italian dessert loved all over the world.
Menù C
Potato gnocchi or spinach gnocchi with ricotta: we will make soft homemade gnocchi from scratch, choosing between
classic potato gnocchi or a delicate spinach and ricotta variation; Stuffed baked eggplant or eggplant parmigiana: two
traditional recipes featuring eggplant, either oven-baked with a savory filling or layered with tomato sauce, cheese, and basil;
and finally, tiramisù: Italy’s most famous creamy dessert.
