    What To Expect

    This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Expect a fun and dynamic class where Cristina will blend cooking with culinary history. Cristina is very well acquainted with the culinary traditions of each Italian region, so she will have a lot to share during your cooking lesson about the different styles, ingredients and specialties of Italy's diverse regions. Learn to cook 3 dishes during your cooking class in Rome with Cristina in her home kitchen. Enjoy making a pasta course such as tagliatelle (with ragu or trapanese, an almond, tomato and basil pesto) or pizza, an appetizer, and a main course (fish or meat like saltimbocca) or dessert. Enjoy your cooking lesson and culinary history over Italian wine while listening to local music. You will also get to watch a brief video of Rome to get you acquainted with its history. Cristina is a big fan of home-made pizza. She has participated in almost every course and event related to pizza in Rome, so please let her know if you prefer cooking pizza over pasta and she will be happy to provide you with a homemade pizza lesson. Please note that your menu varies seasonally.
