Arianna & Monica only use seasonal products and are proud to teach traditional Venetian cooking, a mix of recipes with influences from all over Italy and the Middle East.
Venetian recipes aren’t strictly original, since Venice has been for more than a 1000 years the centre of the world for commercial, military and religious traffic. Right from the start Venetians learnt to live with the few resources the lagoon offered (fish and vegetables) but as Venice’s population grew, its people started to turn their attention to imports and to adapt the best products into its cooking.

So now Venice has a transformed and adapted its cooking history which is various, fantastic and with an important influence from the Mediterranean, the Middle East and even from China and the Americas. Let’s not forget the incredible use of Polenta (maize flour mixed with water and salt) and rice which all Venetian mamas prepare in their everyday cooking. 
So, come and join Arianna and Monica’s cooking classes in Venice-Italy and learn to cook just like an Italian Mama.

Student #1: I am from Colorado, I love pizza.
Student #2: My name is Tami, I am from Indiana. We have friends that took this class when they came over on vacation and they said they had a lot of fun.
Student #3: My name is Luisa. We hope to enjoy this cooking course.
Student #4: Hi, my name is Chris, I come from the UK. I work as marketing manager. I think it is a very good idea. It’s nice to have an experience in visiting Italy and also learning cooking. I’d say it is a bit unique, a bit off beat, different than normal, yeah, it’s a good idea.
Monica: We are not chefs, we are not professional chefs, but we love cooking. We really want to show people that are not great experts in cooking that you can make some easy simple nice food and you don’t have to be a chef, you don’t have to have this greatest knowledge of food. That anybody can do a recipe like GNOCCHI, anybody can go and learn how to make PASTA. It just takes a bit of passion, and it takes a bit of guidance, but at the end of the day everybody can learn to cook. We don’t pretend to be the greatest chefs, There is enough of this people in the world.
You must love food, It’s hard to cook if you do not like food. And there are many people who have not been taught how to enjoy food. I think that is the first step. To learn to enjoy food and then to enjoy how to cook. Housewives, husbands, house-husbands, women who work and come home and they think OK, I fancy to cook something Italian. What can I do very quickly with the ingredients I got at home. Not something that you have to go out and buy en purpose. Something you just open your larder and you say: OK, I got this , what can I make? And that is actually the way Venetian cooking is, it’s not about very hard to find ingredients, They are ingredients that usually everybody got at home.
