COOKING COURSES IN ITALY – VENICE

Description

Cooking courses in Italy Venice : Venetian cuisine is a mix of ingredients, recipes and cultures crossing throughout over 1000 years of history.

Traditional Venetian home cooking is made up of simple basic recipes prepared with few, genuine products, available daily from the lagoons, like fish and vegetables.

Thanks to its contact with the east, Venice added flavor to its dishes by using various spices (pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg) and inventing over 40 different ways to cook rice.

Eating, drinking and cooking

Wherever you are a skilled cook or a first time cook who wants to learn how to prepare some delicious Venetian dishes to present to family members or friends: a 3 day cookery course in Venice is the perfect opportunity for you to do so.

Our cooking courses in Italy Venice are held by Arianna and Monica, whose love for food is their expression of life. Nice and easy are the basics of their Venice home cooking lessons.

Arianna and Monica grew their passion for cooking since they were children, helping their mums and grandmas in preparing the various daily dishes.

Monica is fluent in English, having lived in the UK for many years, and Arianna love for food transpires from her every pore.

During the classes all traditional Venetian ingredients which will be used are in season and where possible fresh. During the 3 day cooking course you will be able to prepare traditional Italian recipes made with rice, polenta, potatoes as well as many cakes.

With Arianna and Monica’s help you will learn how to make simple but mouthwatering gnocchi and first courses, delicious risotto and scrumptious desserts. No particular skills are needed as Arianna and Monica will teach you uncomplicated homemade recipes, with simple ingredients which you will be able to find also once you get back home.
