What to Expect

Cooking lunch like Italians! At the master class with chef Sabina, you will prepare two types of first courses (ravioli, gnocchi, or risotto) and a classic Italian dessert. In a fun and relaxed atmosphere, you will learn how to knead and roll out dough for fresh pasta, determine the readiness of risotto and pasta 'al dente', quickly assemble tiramisu, skillfully combine ingredients for dishes, and other culinary secrets of Bel Paese. I will tell you about the history of the dishes you have prepared, the features of regional cuisine, and the gastronomic traditions of the Northern Italians. And then, of course, you will taste all the prepared dishes with excellent Piedmontese wine specially selected to match your menu.

Understand the nuances of Italian cuisine The cuisine of the north-western regions of Italy differs significantly from that of the central regions: for example, olive oil is less commonly used here, pasta yields priority to risotto, and in the dishes, you can trace gastronomic borrowings from other countries. Wines, cheeses, sausages, polenta, gnocchi, potato dishes, exquisite desserts - the emergence of all this variety has been directly influenced by France, Switzerland, and Austria.

Walk through medieval Arona The restaurant where the master class will take place is located near the famous alpine Lake Maggiore. Before or after the lesson - as you wish - we will stroll through the medieval streets of the coastal town of Arona and its waterfront, admiring the views of ancient castles and mountain peaks. And then you can climb one of the tallest statues in Europe - the statue of San Carlo - or visit the remains of the fortress of Roca di Arona.
