This was a purely wonderful experience! Chef Francesco was clearly knowledgeable but explained each step of our four-course meal in ways that a cook of any level would understand and be comfortable to do in their own kitchen. He spoke in Italian most of the time to give us the full immersive experience but the lovely interpreter (whose name I can’t recall) ensured that we understood every word - and every technique.
I consider myself a very good cook (I own a small business where I cook for customers) but I picked up so many tips on how to improve what I offer my family, friends, and customers.
The food we helped make was absolutely delicious - bread soup, hand-rolled pici (yeah that took some practice!), porchetta, and pane cotta. It was great to enjoy it with our classmates and a few bottles of their house wine! I don’t think four hours has ever passed so quickly!
