Cooking classes are taught in English
Join us for our “Cooking Together” sessions and you will savor food bursting with flavor and marvel at just how divine simple food can be. We’ll send you home with new skills and recipes for what you cooked here. Our “Cooking Together’ sessions are seasonal and customized to your tastes and interest. We start the sessions late in the afternoon so that you are free to enjoy the many charms our area has to offer.
Our most popular “Market to Table” sessions take place on Pinerolo market days, Wednesdays and Saturday and includes a guided tour of the market and some of the highlights of Pinerolo’s historic center in the morning, free time for you and then we cook together later in the afternoon for our evening meal.
We design our cooking session around your interests and skill level, and showcase local, seasonal Piemontese cuisine and drink. We feature our sometimes less well-known regional specialties with creativity, striking a balance between traditional and modern dishes. Our cooking style and philosophy embraces seasonality, locality and freshness. We do also make an effort to use ingredients that you will be able to find back home
Pinerolo’s expansive outdoor traditional market has been held in downtown Pinerolo for over 1,000 years, so it is very much a part of everyday Italian life. This colorful market offers a vast array of fruit, vegetables, cured meats, salami and luscious cheeses from the many producers dotted around the area. This market also offers all sorts of interesting non food items, but is not a tourist market. Non market day sessions are possible on other days.
We will guide you through the selection, preparation, cooking and ultimately dine together, enjoying the fruits of our labor paired with an upgrade of local “Strada Reale dei Vini Torinesi” wine.
Our intimate cooking sessions accommodate from 2 to 8 people.
Larger groups may be arranged also.
All cooking sessions are:
* hands on
* start late afternoon
* approximately 3-4 hours
* include recipes
* meal of our labor
* upgrade of local wine
Wine pairing may also be added to a course also
All sessions are taught by both Marla and Fabrizio.
Class size is usually between 2-8 people.

“Cooking Together” cookery classes are offered on various days by arrangement and customized to your interest.
- We prepare a 2-3 course meal and dine together on the fruits of our labor.
- We pair our meal with wine from our local “Strada Reale dei Vini Torinese” wine.
Our most popular classes have been based on
the primi piatti which includes the pasta, gnocchi, savory rustic tarts, risotto and on occasion polenta
the secondi piatti, which is usually the meat or main course.
Other possibilities are antipasti, dolce and focaccia
We are happy to offer a vegetarian option as well.
We choose 2 main items from the main categories to focus on.
It is possible to arrange 1-5 nights of ”Cooking Together” if you are interested in multiple classes.
We have a wood fired oven that we will use for a pizza night that requires at least a two day notice as we make a long rise pizza dough for the best flavor.
