Must Do: Cooking Classes in Milan

Let’s be honest … Everyone wishes they had some Italian grandmotherly skills in them. Being able to cook up an exotic meal is a great skill to have in your back pocket, it will come in handy when it’s time to impress some future in-laws. There’s no better place to learn culinary skills than in the heart of Milan. Here’s why you need to book an Italian cooking class with world-class chefs:

You’ll craft a three-course meal alongside a ‘Professional Pasta Maestro’. Yes, that’s a real title. Vincenzo, the lead chef, will walk you through the art of fresh pasta. Ravioli, fettucini, and spaghetti, are a few of the many different pasta recipes you’ll learn. The entire pasta process, from ingredient selection to dough rolling, will be showcased by one of the best chefs in Milan. You’ll share a table with Vinvenzo, so he will happily answer every question and match any cooking pace.

You’ll learn the generational secrets of Italian cooking. This is the type of knowledge that grandmas refuse to write down because it’s their best kept secret. Not only will Vincenzo show you hidden tricks for exquisite pasta taste and consistency, you’ll also learn the secrets of his perfect tiramisu recipe. A desert delicacy so delicious that it has been molded by generations. The tiramasu not only stood the test of time, it’s been slowly refined over hundreds of years for mouth-watering flavor. But once you know the secrets … you must respect the whisk and keep them to yourself.

Then, enjoy the fruits of your labor with local wines and new friends. All that hard work shall be rewarded. Taste your successes and pair your pasta with exotic wines right from Milan. Break bread with the fellow students you shared the kitchen with. Plus, Vincenzo sets the table like an authentic Italian family dining experience. You’ll be surrounded by new friends and Italian vibes as priceless stories light up the table. Like a true Italian, you’ll take your time, savor each bite, and gain a new appreciation for fine dining. 

The kitchen is in a picturesque spot–right in the heart of Milan. Glaring out the window, you’ll gander at the stunning views of the ancient city and feel the history. After your meal, walk off all the calories as you stroll cobblestone streets and admire centuries-old castles. Outside aside, what if we told you the kitchen is exclusively designed for collaborative, intensive pasta creation? Spoiler: It is. While you try to not get completely consumed by the outdoor beauty, you’ll appreciate the indoor attentiveness. This kitchen was built for you to learn.

The class is inexpensive, quick, and the most rewarding evening activity. From entrance to exit, you’ll log just three hours. At only $100 per person, it’s an absolute steal–thats how much you’d probably pay for the meal alone, without the timeless knowledge and hands-on experience. This quick evening activity is the perfect way to spend a Milan evening
