Farm to Table Cooking Classes in Italy

August 29th, 2010Blog, Foodie Destinations0 comments

Thinking of taking a cooking class in Italy? How to decide which class to take – amateur or expert, young & old – here’s what to expect at La Tavola Marche Cooking School.

Meet in the kitchen of our 300 year-old stone farmhouse, tie on your handmade apron (our gift to you) and head into the garden to collect the ingredients for your cooking class with a stop at the chicken coop to pick up fresh eggs! With a crate full of fresh picked veggies the cooking begins.

These are hands-on, roll up your sleeves, dive-right in classes. We cater to our guests at every cooking level from the novice to the professional.

All the recipes you will learn are local & seasonal inspired by local traditions – most dishes only have 3 or 4 ingredients – extra virgin olive oil, a bit of salt (maybe lemon or vinegar), fresh herbs & veggies. Return with actual recipes & techniques that you can recreate at home! Guests experience picking the zucchini or eggplants off the vine, checking in on the tomatoes, popping a bright red cherry tomato in their mouth then heading up to the kitchen to create delicious simple dishes with the cucumbers still warm from the sun!

Enjoy the afternoon with Chef Jason in the Italian countryside with a glass of wine in your hand, cooking at ease in the family kitchen and then devour the delicious foods you have just created. Does it get any better? Creating & sharing a meal with friends & family around the table with the freshest ingredients prepared simply!
