Read MoreSicilian cuisine is some of the most complex and most flavorful in Italy, and you can explore it in depth during a cooking class Sicily. Sicilian gastronomy bears traces of its long history, and has Spanish, Greek, Arab, and African influences that you can explore during our cooking classes in Sicily. Whether you are learning homemade pasta from scratch, preparing seafood from the Mediterranean, or exploring the island’s street foods during our cooking classes in Palermo Sicily, a cooking class Sicily will be the highlight of your trip.
Join us in Sicily, a land that combines the gastronomic and cultural influences of every great Mediterranean civilization, for hands-on cooking classes, gourmet meals, wine tastings, and guided culinary and cultural tours. Enjoy an insider’s perspective to this mysterious and exotic island that has beckoned travelers for centuries.
Tuscany, Umbria, Campania, Sicily, Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont, Lombardy, Lazio, Puglia, and the Veneto, are only a handful of the places where you can learn to cook in Italy. Italy’s 20 regions all offer amazing opportunities to learn regional and traditional Italian cuisine. Each region has its own pastas, sauces, main dishes and desserts, and you will learn to make them on our cooking courses in Italy.
Italians might fight to the death over the answer to this question! Many would say that the city of Bologna has the best food in Italy. It is definitely one of the culinary capitals of Italy, and Emilia Romagna, the region in which it is found, is known for its incredible wealth of gastronomic products such as prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano, aceto balsamico di Modena, and pastas like tortellini, tagliatelle, and lasagne.
We think that each of Italy’s regions, however, has something truly unique and unforgettable to offer on our culinary vacations in Italy.
Most Italians would agree that Naples has the best pizza in Italy. Naples, the capital of the Campania region, is also the birthplace of pizza! The main ingredients of pizza also come from this region: fresh mozzarella cheese and San Marzano tomatoes, grown in the sun-drenched volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius.
