Description

Good to Know

A different aperitif, made to learn how to prepare delicious aperitifs and to meet new people. You cook, eat and chat all together. The recipes will give us the opportunity to share travel experiences because they come from different parts of the world, where the chef has learned them on the spot during her thousand trips. And while chatting, after cooking, you taste the dishes with good wine to match. In short, you will leave the experience satiated with food and enriched with new knowledge both culinary and personal

You will meet in the Chef and the City professional cooking workshop, but don't worry: no special skills are required because you will cook all together under the expert guidance of the chef and/or his qualified staff, so it's fine even if you have never weighed flour. Waiting for all guests to arrive you will be collected in the cozy dining room (yes yes you read it right, there is not only the kitchen) with a small welcome buffet made of sweet and savory snacks, drinks, tea and coffee. You will cook 3 or 4 delicious and very special appetizers or 1 dessert from different parts of the world (no "lasagna that I know how to make very well because it 'taught me the grandmother Emilia of my deskmate in high school" ). You will cook for about 30 minutes, take a break to give us a chance to arrange the kitchen for the other recipes and return to the kitchen for another 30 minutes. The last hour will be devoted entirely to tasting the culinary wonders just made, sprinkled with 1 glass of good wine OR 1 special cocktail by Chef and the City. You learn, you chat, you know, you feel good, you have fun in a relaxed environment.

Nice experience

We have just returned from this experience of "international cooking class" with chef Ilaria and her cute collaborator. We found hospitality and kindness, organization and professionalism. We learned some tricks in the kitchen and ate the 3 dishes prepared by ourselves. We really enjoyed the flavors of Jordanian, Georgian and Armenian cuisine. Brave!

Esperienza super consigliata!

Un aperitivo diverso dal solito, divertente e coinvolgente! La Chef Ilaria e il suo team ci hanno accolto con entusiasmo, creando un’atmosfera rilassata e conviviale fin dal primo momento. L’ambiente del laboratorio è professionale ma allo stesso tempo accogliente, perfetto per mettersi alla prova ai fornelli senza sentirsi in difficoltà. Abbiamo preparato insieme una serie di antipasti sfiziosi e un dolce, tutti ispirati a ricette internazionali. Le spiegazioni erano chiare e alla portata di t...read more

Would have liked chef to spend more time with us.

Learning to make the food was fun and informative. Unfortunately, since only 7 of 10 people were signed up, the market and coffe parts were cancelled, which were the reasons I signed up for this particular class. Chef seemed rushed and left us to mingle among ourselves for long periods of time. Also, I would have liked to see how they made sauces which were served, even if it was not a hands on part.
