What to expect

Step into my real Milan home for a warm and intimate small-group cooking experience — far from crowded classes. I'm Chiara, and I’ll welcome you into my kitchen for a hands-on cooking class where we’ll prepare fresh homemade tagliatelle, traditional ragù, and tiramisu — Italy’s most iconic dessert. We’ll start with a relaxed aperitivo featuring local products, then cook together step by step in a friendly and informal atmosphere. This experience lasts around 3.5 hours and is suitable for all skill levels. I’ll guide you throughout, sharing practical tips so you can recreate these dishes at home. More than a cooking class, this is a social experience: we’ll sit down together and enjoy everything we’ve prepared, just like Italians do at home. This is not a cooking school, but a real home experience — I call it Chiara's Table.
