ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

LIBRO DE ARTE COQUINARIA (book on the culinary arts)
Maestro Martino (1464)
We learn from one of the masters of Renaissance cooking, using authentic ingredients to recreate the dishes eaten by popes at the turn of the sixteenth century. The spicy flavours and aromas of the nobleman's kitchen take us back to a time of major change in Italian cuisine, when eating became more of an art form than simply a way of satisfying one's hunger.

I have prepared a three course menu with some of the best typical foods in Rome that you must definitely try! Learn to cook these delicious Italian dishes and impress your friends back home with your new cooking skills! Participating in a cooking class is also a great way to immerse in the culture and learn more about our rich culinary traditions, as well as local Roman customs. If you are looking for the best local restaurants in Rome, look no further and join our cooking class!

ABOUT THEMENU

We will have three courses:

Ravioli in white, stuffed with ricotta fresh cheese and spices, butter and sage or
Vegetable soup, different kinds of fresh seasonal vegetables and herbs served with bread crostini

Sweet and sour pork chops with spices ( Dolce Forte) or
Chicken ( alla cacciatore) with spices and herbs , almonds and vinegar and oranges
Fried zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella cheese and little anchovies
Fried zucchini

Chocolate dessert with white pepper
Frappe, light fried cookies with a sort of egg custard with Marsala or saffron
White or Red wines

ABOUT THELOCATION

I'm in the Garbatella area of Rome, very close to Terme di Caracalla and the Ancient Appian way.

Sandra provided a beautiful, informational, and interesting experience! Her deep knowledge of Italian customs, history, Tuscan cuisine, and cooking experience all culminate in an awesome cooking class. We cooked/prepped a 3-course meal and it tasted great. Sandra did a great job explaining subtleties of Italian cooking and its ingredients for our pasta dish while explaining the most interesting points. I will recommend her to anyone in Rome.

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!
