Cooking School In Rome

The classes are small so that they can be relaxed and informal. People can have hands on if they want, or they can sit and watch if they prefer. Most people usually do a mixture of both. There is time for questions and discussion during class, and the dishes prepared come from many Italian regions, not just Rome, using the fresh produce in season. A balance is kept between food for dinner parties, and interesting quick dishes to prepare for more informal meals. It is authentic Italian food, based on good ingredients,not fussy designer food.

Steal a day from the classical sites and art treasures to visit the food market and get a feeling for the 'real' Rome, then back to the kitchen to sample, cook, eat and drink !
