Cooking class in the kitchen of a Michelin-starred Chef

A unique opportunity to learn how to cook stellar dishes based on Umbrian flavours.

In recent years, Umbria has been able to offer some interesting modern interpretations of its cuisine. It has done this so admirably by welcoming ideas and external influences that sometimes blend perfectly with the traditional aspects of regional Umbrian cooking. During this cooking class you will get hands-on experience of the gourmet procedures and preparations of a crew of Michelin-starred Chefs offering a new take on the great classics of Umbrian cuisine. This will enable you to transfer what you have learnt to your own home and practice whenever you want.

Starting from the typical flavours of the area, you will have the opportunity to practice preparing dishes that are creatively interpreted in a setting of the highest level, combining tradition and innovation. You will be guided all the way through by the kitchen crew of one of the most renowned restaurants in Umbrian fine dining. You will use the latest in professional techniques and tools and, above all, you will get to know the various cooking methods and combinations of ingredients used during the cooking class, obviously without neglecting the correct food & wine combinations; an aspect that is of fundamental importance in the presentation of Michelin-starred dishes. The end of your cooking class will be followed by an informal tasting of what has been prepared.

During the cooking class in the Michelin-starred Chef’s kitchen, you will therefore have the opportunity to enjoy a challenging experience with real professionals in Italian fine dining. And the special focus will be on the flavours of Umbria, a land of culinary tradition and innovation that still has much to reveal.
