Overview

Discover relaxing-Roman countryside and enjoy this cooking class with local chef. Taste the fruits of your labor with fine good wine in a convivial atmosphere.

Meet your local chef and learn to prepare many original recipes. In Italy, each city has its own recipes that vary depending on the season and here you will do the same: in the summertime, you will prepare sorbets and ice cream, while in winter sfogliatelle and stuffed pasta. Claudia's kitchen is appreciated everywhere and prestigious newspapers (The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal) wrote about her.

In Italy, the "Italian Sunday lunch" is considered very important and you will have the opportunity to be part of this traditional moment. Dress up the chef's apron and start to prepare delicious dishes: vegetable fritters or savory strudel, croutons with vegetables and cheese; the pasta will be made by hand with flour from a local mill and eggs taken by the farmer, lasagne or ravioli or fettuccine, with their sauce and then a typical second course, the rolls or saltimbocca and for vegetarians a special dish. Finally, a cake that will be a parfait or a tart made together with your friends. After your practical lessons, you can sip home-made wine, enjoy the fantastic view and eat in the romantic living room or in the garden.

Claudia and Bruno warmly welcomed us into their home as their guests. We enjoyed every moment from start to finish—learning how to make several dishes that included ravioli and fried artichokes! We are excited to experiment with our new skills and recipes when we return home. The food, wine, company and countryside setting made for a delightful experience!

Highly recommend this cooking class! Claudia is a wonderful and very experienced chef and we had the best lunch with her and Bruno. It is really nice to be welcomed into their home and listen to all their stories. They grow everything in their garden, make their own wine, olive oil and are just really kind and lovely people to meet. We are already looking forward to the next time we visit Italy, so we can visit Claudia and Bruno again and learn to cook some amazing new recipes.

Food and history were educational. Claudia, Hugo and Shasta the dog were very hospitable. They responded to all my concerns leading up to our arrival.

This was such a wonderful, relaxed & educational experience. Right from the moment of booking we were made to feel at ease and welcome. Claudia, Julia & Bruno are wonderful hosts & the class was the perfect way to escape the busy city for a day. I had booked this as a surprise for my Mum and we both enjoyed every second. Getting there is super easy, don't let the train ride put you off. It's beautiful scenery and the train was clean, pleasant and on time. Would 100% come back and learn more! The food was absolutely delicious & ingredients super fresh (lots picked on the day).

This is an experience not to miss! Imagine stepping outside of the hustle and bustle of Rome, meeting good people, and experiencing genuine Italian meal prep from a person with valued experience. Our morning began with taking a local train out of Rome, being met with welcoming arms a half hour away at the small train stop, and then being driven to the chef’s personal home (Claudia & Bruno) beyond the suburbs in a country setting. Once at their home, we exchanged a bit of each other’s life experiences over cups of coffee, which transitioned into a discussion about the menu that would become a family lunch feast. Next came guided step-by-step preparations of notable Italian specialties. What would it be like to have a cooking class in Italy and not experience making pasta and all that goes with it? We were not disappointed! My wife and I loved being guided in making a variety of this Italian staple. First came the preparation. We gathered herbs growing in their yard for the sauces and then began kneading and rolling out pasta -- making it thin for cutting, stamping, and forming…. Voila! Noodles, ravioli, and linguini all started to take shape. This was a cooking class where you not only talked about food and the mechanics, but prepared each delicacy, which ultimately became the meal we all enjoyed! There is something so genuine about being in a person’s home and receiving hands-on guidance — step by step, guided down an authentic path that ended in a wonderfully rewarding lunch, sampling their homemade wine, with family around the table. We’d recommend this class to anyone who would enjoy stepping out of the intense mainstream and graciously being surrounded by wonderful people as preparation is made for an authentic meal that all enjoyed! Time flew by… we were surprised when the time came when we had to return to the little train station to board our return trip back to Rome.
