Cooking Classes
Come cook with us, alone or in a group!
Most classes start with a market tour that allow you to get a feel for what is local and seasonal, and what kinds of foods Italians use in their cooking. At the market you’ll see a host of fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, meats, cheeses, pasta and breads. We’ll purchase the ingredients needed for the class and then head back to Flavor of Italy for the class.
We also offer cooking classes in your home, wherever it is that you live! Contact us for further details!
All classes, whatever the format or theme you have chosen, are hands on. Some of our more successful classes are listed below. Classes are one day or longer. Contact us to custom design a cooking class of your own!
