Italian Cooking Masterclass

Italian cooking is renowned for it’s use of fresh and high-quality ingredients. Our Italian cooking class will transport you to the heart of Italy where we will take you, step-by-step, through a range of Italian classics.

You will love the chance to learn to make some favourite Italian dishes, including pasta from scratch, gnocchi and ragu. Immerse yourself in Italian culture through its food, and learn more than you would just eat these dishes at a restaurant. You will work with your partner or the chef and will sit down at the communal table to eat their delicious creations afterwards.

In our Italian cooking class, we’ll start by hand made our dough for freshly made pizza and pasta. We will be exploring all the specific fresh vegetables and herbs used in Italian cuisine why they are used as well as the ingredients to create authentic Italian cuisine. You’ll then be making an array of dishes that will embrace the joys of cooking with garlic, fantastic olive oil, cheese, and cured meats. You will make fresh homemade tomato sauce, fresh pasta, ragu, and your own dessert! Please note this class has gluten products but can be vegan or vegetarian-friendly. We also do a pizza-making class.

Really enjoyed the class! I gifted it to two people who I attended with, who also loved it! The class size was small, which meant it was easy to ask our teacher, Dylan, questions. The class was very hands on and it was great to eat the food we made throughout the class. Would definitely attend again for a different cooking class ☺️
