First, meet Nonna in her Italian apartment, and spend time getting to know her a little. Hear how she’s been preparing Italian specialties in her kitchen the old-fashioned way for years, and learn a few of her culinary secrets. Anyone can brush up on their skills in an upscale cooking school, but only Nonna knows the real secrets of homemade Italian cuisine.
Take a look at your recipe for the evening, and take the time to ask any questions you may have before beginning. Listen as Nonna takes you through the authentic Italian ingredients you’ll be using to prepare your meal. She cuts no corners in the kitchen; only fresh, local and seasonal ingredients are used.
Cook alongside Nonna, and enjoy spending time in a real Italian kitchen. With prosecco and local wine flowing freely throughout the evening, chat to fellow cooks and watch Nonna at work. It may not be easy so you’ll have to pay attention; she has many years of experience!
When the food is ready, sit down to your freshly prepared 4-course Italian supper. Enjoy the company of your host and fellow diners as the wine and conversation flow. Italy is widely regarded as the home of fine food, so take time to appreciate the fruits of your labor with the rest of your small group.
After four hours of cooking, dining and chatting, your evening will come to an end.

Starter:
Old-fashioned tiramisu
