Introduction

What to expect?
During the market tour, you will have a chance to interact with local vendors, sample products such as cheese, prosciutto, and delectable pizza. After the market visit, you will head to the exclusive One Day Chef cooking school, where you will embark on a private cooking class with the chef. Every participant will have their own work station equipped with a cooktop, allowing you to individually create the dishes step-by-step.
The menu for the class includes mouthwatering homemade Ravioli, Tagliolini cacio e pepe, and the traditional Tiramisu dessert. You will not only learn how to make these iconic Italian dishes, but also get to enjoy the fruits of your labor by indulging in a well-deserved meal.
