Book Learn to Cook Venetian Style in Venice

GREAT FOR SMALL GROUPS AND FAMILIES!

For all food lovers - we invite you to join one of our friendly group cookery classes, led by enthusiastic local chefs. Classes focus on the Venetian specialties and give you an authentic experience of the tastes and flavours of local recipes. True to Italian tradition, all menus include starter, first course, main course and dessert. Dishes are based on recipes that you can use again and share with your friends and family back at home. We offer two excellent options according to your preferred location: in the heart of Venice or on the Lido, one of the charming islands of the Lagoon.
