ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

I meet so many people from different cultures who are all united by one thing – cooking!
‘Life is a combination of magic and pasta’ (Federico Fellini). Food is, and has always been, a way into a country’s or a place’s local culture. The Roman food culture is very rich and I am excited to be sharing it with you when you visit Rome!

A typical lesson goes something like this: we spend a couple of hours preparing, cooking, and learning about the dishes and the techniques used. Then we sit down to your very own home-cooked meal with a good bottle of wine.
I start by taking you through the ingredients, explaining the origin of each of them and the history of each recipe. I enjoy the variety of Italian regional cuisine and I'm keen to impart my knowledge with you. This is also a great way for people to get a taste of the real Italian culture when visiting Rome and learning how to make some authentic Italian dishes and bring these skills back home!

Fantastic experience - Sandra was really welcoming and we definitely enjoyed our time learning more about Italian food and culture with her. We're still making Italian food even after leaving Rome, and would definitely recommend this!

We had such a wonderful experience at Sandra's apartment making a delicious meal. 100% highly recommended. Sandra is extremely nice and friendly and not only teaches you how to makes the dishes but also teaches you a bit about them. It was an incredibly fulfilling evening with lots of delicious food, wine, conversation, and laughter. If you are in Rome and have an evening free, this is a highly recommended experience! 5 starts!! Grazie, Sandra!

Probably the highlight of my Rome trip and it was already filled with highlights. Sandra was wonderful and kind. I love how she focuses on natural ingredients. My wife is pregnant and she made a menu completely safe for her. No raw eggs and wine base sauces etc. She was so accommodating. Of course the food was delicious. Book with her.

Loved this so much! Sandra was a really great teacher - we made delicious food and we all sat down around the dinner table and enjoyed our meals with a bottle of wine. She also booked a taxi for us to get back home, which was very nice of her. This is a great way to make friends, too!
