Here’s an overview of your activity

Cooking risotto is simple, but perfecting risotto needs that local touch. I'll give you a few secrets for making authentic Italian risotto. From choosing the right ingredients, how to prepare the broth, which type of parmesan to use, and even more local tips & tricks.

While we enjoy a glass (or two) of wine and an Italian appetizer, in just two hours, we'll have cooked a perfect vegetarian risotto. My recipe includes mushroom, seasonal vegetables, butter, parmesan, and a few secret ingredients you can discover in my kitchen.

If there is a risotto recipe you are dreaming of making, just let me know. I can 100% customize this tour to your wishes.

*The class is hosted at lunchtime only, and not on Sundays*
