Cooking School In RomeDiane Seed's Roman Kitchen

 

Learn about Italian life, past and present, as you enjoy incredible, fresh flavours. You don't have to be a passionate cook to enjoy this experience.

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.

It is possible to do a 2 or 3 day class or, if you have very limited free time, a 1 day class can sometimes be arranged.

Market tours and eating !

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 !
