Hosted in a real chef’s home — not a commercial cooking school. This experience is designed to feel personal, not staged. You won’t be in a classroom with individual stations, but in a real home where everything happens together, just like in Italy. I’m a trained chef with experience in professional kitchens, and the focus here is not just following recipes, but understanding technique — so you can actually recreate what you learn. We work with carefully selected ingredients, avoid shortcuts, and keep the group small to ensure everyone is involved. It’s a balance between professional cooking and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — more like cooking with a friend who knows exactly what he’s doing.
