Our expert chefs are dedicated to sharing the secrets of the Italian kitchen in a supportive, high-energy environment.
The Itinerary: A Four-Course Masterclass
Northern Elegance: Creamy Parmesan Risotto Master the "patience of the north." You’ll learn the essential technique of toasting Arborio rice, deglazing with wine, and the slow-incorporation method of warm broth to achieve that signature all'onda (wave-like) creaminess without overcooking the grain.
Hand-Crafted Artistry: Fresh Ricotta Ravioli Discover the joy of making pasta from scratch. We’ll guide you through mixing the perfect golden dough, rolling it to paper-thin transparency, and sealing in a delicate ricotta filling. You’ll learn how to prevent air bubbles and ensure your ravioli holds perfectly during the boil.
The Comfort of Home: Classic Manicotti Move beyond the box! Learn how to create light, crepe-like pasta shells (crespelle) or traditional tubes, stuffed with a savory herb-and-cheese blend and topped with a vibrant, slow-simmered marinara sauce.
Roman Perfection: Authentic Pasta Carbonara Forget the heavy cream—we’re doing it the Roman way. Master the "emulsion technique" using only eggs, Pecorino Romano, black pepper, and crispy guanciale (or pancetta). You’ll learn the precise temperature control needed to create a glossy, velvet-like sauce without scrambling the eggs.
