Cooking classes in Venice Italy

We offer two kinds of culinary experiences in Venice. In both cooking courses you will have expert local chef tuition and get the chance to try your hand at cooking real Venetian recipes. Step by step you will learn how to prepare some typical specialties! You will also improve your Italian and find out that it’s great fun to learn a new language through cooking!

Venetian cuisine obviously features a lot of seafood as the lagoon is a huge natural resource, but there are also many vegetables grown on the garden island of Sant’ Erasmo which also feature heavily in Venetian cuisine. Italian food from this region encompasses everything from fish appetizers, to typical risottos and meat dishes. Not to mention the desserts, such as the fragrant “zaeti” biscuits or the typical zabaione! 

So from fresh pasta, to meat, fish and vegetables, with this cooking lesson you will have the authentic experience of being an italian cook fo a day!
